I love my AR headers! They fit like a glove and look great, also gained 30hp and 24ft lbs with a tune.

I'm not saying AR are the best headers out there, but i am very happy with my AR's!

Seems header threads just bring all out war. Must be the long winter bringing out so much fighting.

I must say that i am very happy with my 1 3/4 Kooks and my tuner highly recommends them for 1/4 applications.
