Long tubes.

07stanggt · August 19th, 2008, 08:00 AM

if i have a lift. how hard is the kooks long tube install? and i say kooks becuase i have heard they are the easiest of the long tubes to install. and how hard is this job on a 03 termi, any different then a 3 vavle?

can i do it all from the bottom without unbolting the engine or steering column?

Kooks are the same as ARH and the majority, some have slight difference in tube angle, but for the most part following the same path for install makes the job exactly the same in difficulty.

Since your talkin termi, be prepared to bust up a bunch of knuckles because with the 4 valve heads there is far less room to work on them in a far more crowded engine bay than our S197's. You will definately need to pull the starter, and engine mounts to get the headers up into their positions, they will not slide right up..

Kooks are the same as arh in what way? I can see the arh are longer and bent differently.

I said tubes are slightly different. Essentially fit the same, the time to get them in is no different. The length affects nothing..
