Nope!!! Neither is the Prescion turbo header. Kooks is the only one making a equal lenght header for the 2.3 turbo. They(kooks) guarantee it will crack if used for daily driving. It is a racing only type deal and so no warranty. Check link for pic of Kooks header.

Looks like the kooks header might be good for a pinto or something.My flange face to flange face is less than 4 inches so that a turbo would bolt up to it without hitting the shock tower.At least for the T-Bird and I can drive over mine with a truck,without any damage.Maybe over kill,but nothing but the best.

I don't think the Kooks header would fit too well either. I love the look of your header. I just need to see some dyno results before I drop more money on another header. If I didn't already have an ATR I would jump on it. Per the turboford site, let RS450 do the dyno comparisson. His car is very powerful and would be a great test mule. Keep us posted.

O.K.How could this think NOT flow better than even a ported E-6? Shouldn't just the size of the tubes and and the mandrel smooth bends inside almost guarantee it?Also,shouldn't the stainless disapate heat much faster than the thick cast-iron?

------------------
Too much fun, what's that mean?That's like too much boost,there's no such thing.

Stainless retains heat,a good thing for a turbo motor
