With the AR headers, they come too close to the transmission lines on the passenger side and I had to bend the pinch weld of the frame also on the passenger side. Their instructions actually state this may be necessary.
Kooks fit perfect with zero modifications. Came with a bracket to relocate the trans lines higher up for proper clearance. Get the Kooks.

ARH and Kooks seem to be the best. I did a lot of research before buying and I chose the ARH because they have a few features I like that seems to be better for making power (longer primaries, better collectors, and the X closer to the engine). But there are a few reports of Kooks fitting better, and really power gains will be within a few hp. Really can't go wrong either way
