    Kooks longtube headers into borla catback?

    Quick update: I bought some O2 sensor extenders online and they have been working so far. I got the leaks all sealed up at these terrible kooks clamps finally. The torca ball clamps are lackluster at best.

    Did you ever get a check engine light? I paid the extra cash to get these green cats that “don’t require a tune” allegedly and here I am with a light on. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 Not impressed with Kooks at all.

    Didn’t have to trim any bolts on my install. I used the stage 8’s they sent but I left the clips off. My biggest issue is a few leaks in the system from these terrible clamps they sent. I’m going to swap them all for better ones

    No loss in power at all for me. Low end has a bit more oomph and mid and high rpm is much improved power wise. Just an install nightmare so far.

    I’ll reach out to them this week for sure. Day three of them installed, and now a check engine light. 👎🏾 Truck says no stored messages though so 🤷🏾‍♂️.

    Yeah, I’m definitely not impressed with their attachment hardware. The welds on the headers are good and the green cats haven’t thrown any codes. Makes the truck pull a ton more in the midrange for sure and the Borland really sing up top!

    How did you fix your clamp issue? I have all of it bolted on and like you, my band clamps at the catalytic converters are tightened all the way and there is still play like it’s loose and a serious exhaust leak. Did you weld them? I don’t want to do that. I was thinking of adding fiberglass...

    These headers kicked my butt today! Still not done. I have them on but not all of the bolts in. The dipstick bolt hole that uses OEM hardware per the underrated instructions isn’t going it for whatever reason. Still need to hook up the cats and mid pipe too. The two bolts that attached my Borla...

    I think a little more heat wrap wouldn’t hurt, and it can be bought at auto parts stores fairly cheap. That’s what I plan to do when I install this Monday. Looking forward to the video man! I’ll post one of mine when it’s done to show the difference in the Borla Touring you have vs the Borla...

    Awesome! Thanks Jack. I had read something about guys using new OEM gaskets instead of those provided but can’t remember the reasoning behind it. I’m stoked to get mine on! Can’t wait to hear it!

    Do you have any videos of your truck? Cold start, driving, idle? Curious to hear it. Also, did you use the gaskets that came with the headers or did you use new OEM gaskets?

    How did these turn out? I have purchased the same headers(also at 3200 when on sale) and have the Borla s-type catback on my truck. Was really hoping these would make a marked improvement in sound and power. Love that Borla growl! 💪🏾
