Default Easiest to install headers?

I'm thinking of going with Kooks. Texas Speed has em for $775. Are they any easier to install than some other brands?

I've heard LG's are easier than Kooks. I have the 'older' design Kooks and they weren't a problem.

I put BORLAS in my 03 and it was duck soup

Recommend you use PERCY'S gaskets and ARP hardware.

LGs are pretty easy. I can tell you SLP true length or what ever they call them are pain in the a$$.

Kooks are a PITA, but worth it.

I installed the Dynatech's in just over 3 hours including the removal of the old stock system. I believe the LG system is about as easy too...
