I installed The Hooker long tubes and X-pipe and nothing else on my 01 Cobra and the car can now get sideways shifting into 3rd gear. I can't remember the car doing that when it was stock. The only thing I hate about my Hookers is the shitty ass leak prone slip fit that connects the headers and x pipe. As soon as I get a chance, I'll weld in 3 bolt flages. BBk long tubes have bolt on flanges, but if you ever have to drop the tranny, you will have to pull the driver side bbk header <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> The new Kooks Griggs headers look cool, but they cost a shit load. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Rally1</b> <br /><small>Member # 2537</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,6,22,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Cobreezy:<br /><strong>Thinking of getting headers soon for my 98 snake.

Plus, their flat flange allows the use of good Bassani gaskets.<br />For long tubes, I recommend BBK. Their quality has come a long way, and they fit well. (They're also compatible with the Bassani gaskets.) I agree about ceramic coating--it's your friend!<br />We also carry the best header bolts and SureLok washers that _will not_ back out or come apart(unlike Stage 8s).<br />If you have any more questions, let me know! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
