2011 5.0 Header help.

Hey guys, I need some help. I'm going to be ordering some headers and I have a question. Im going to go with KOOKS because I like the fact they make a COMPLETE system from headers to tail pipes.
I dont know which to go with. Do I want the "H" Pipe or the "X" pipe system? Im going to be adding the 624 horse Whipple in the future so which would benefit me more?

Who has installed these headers by themselves? Does the motor need to be jacked up or the cradle dropped? Or do they slide right up into place?

The header install on these cars are pretty difficult. The easiest was to do it is by dropping the k member, but yes the motor does have to be moved a lil in each direction. It's kinda like stuffing ten pounds of $hit in a five pound box. N I would go with the x pipe.

Kooks is not the only company that offers a system from header to tailpipe.



This is a SpeedTech (Made by Stainless Works), let me know if you're interested as I can get you a good price on this. You wont be disappointed

from what i understand, x pipe is more performance and h pipe is more sound. from the cars heard with an x pipe over an h pipe, i prefer the h pipe. seems to have a better tone over the x imo.
