Kooks longtubes

[2012Roush]

Has anyone installed kooks longtubes yet on their raptor. I want to but heard its a real pain in the a**. Anyone have any words of wisdom and pointers please. I want to do it myself. I have a roush 2012 and want to but the headers and y pipe( with cats) but don't want to pay to have it done .. Thanks- Kyle

i did SW LT's on mine. major pain in the ass. if u have access to a lift that will make life easier. i would say a 2nd set of hands isnt necessary but highly recommended as well as a ton of patience. from what i saw there really is no short cuts or tricks. make sure u have some long extensions and pivot sockets too.

Thanks for the input. I want to put kooks on. Is there anyone on here that has kooks on their raptor ?

I hear you. I got a quote for 900 for the installation of kooks header & magna flow exhaust. I'm ordering mine in a month

That's cheap... Lol. I got a quote for 1150.00. 10 hr job to install the headers and y pipe. And the headers only cost 1200.00 where is the logic in that. This is why I want to find out what's involved if I do it myself.

an 8-10 hour labor rate is going to be the norm. it is bery tight and the engine needs to be moved up and back. skids and the starter need to come off and the steering shaft needs to be disconnected.


u should be able to get the installation instructions online in a PDF. read over them and look at what needs to be done

i know u want kooks but the install is going to be pretty much the same as the SW install. here are the install instructions for the SW headers. the kooks install should be 99% the same

Thanks , I appreciate the info and your time.

no problem. i see ur username says roush so i assume u have a roush raptor. dont forget u will need a custom tune, especially it being supercharged.

I was thinking of running kooks LTs to an x pipe, resonators and dump them before the rear axel ! To much maybe?!

Like Nick said its a PITA to install, but well worth it.
