Default Question on Kooks longtubes.....

Does anyone know if these headers are installed on their own will they eliminate the cats and bolt up to the factory midpipe just like the B&B headers do? The B&B only come in 1-3/4" and i want the 1-7/8".

Reason i ask is that i have the Bassani Dominator GT Race catback and i love it! The midpipe bolts right up to the factory cats so i need a header, like the B&B, that will eliminate them.

Thanks!

This is my midpipe and a pic of it installed if it helps any. Also, doesn't have to be Kooks....can be anything as long as they are available in 1-7/8" and i don't have to use their matching midpipe!

I can't post pics so these are the links.....

Nope. All quailty LT's (Kooks, ARH, LG's) have their own mid pipe. The best you could do is have a shop install the headers and weld the supplied mid pipe somewhere in the middle. You only have a 2.5 inch mid pipe now though and you could get the 3" mid pipe with the 1 7/8 headers from the vendor.

It would be the best to just match the headers and x pipe.

I just went ahead and ordered new 1-7/8" headers with 3"x2.5" x-pipe that will bolt up to my Bassani axie-back portion. Good thing my tips are resonated cause that's all there is going to be for sound control from the headers back! lol
