      Description

      Improve Horsepower And Torque. The Kooks Long Tube Header and Catted Shorty X-pipe combo kit for the manual 2005 to 2010 GT Mustangs will balance out the exhaust pressure to increase flow over the restrictive factory exhaust system resulting in more horsepower, torque, and better throttle response.

      Quality Construction. Manufactured from 1-5/8" mandrel bent 304 stainless steel tubing Kooks Long Tube Headers are TIG welded for strength, and feature a leak-free ball flange design to fit perfectly into the included 2.5" diameter 304 stainless steel Shorty X-pipe for excellent exhaust flow and performance.

      Recommended Upgrade. To realize the full power potential that this Header and X-pipe combo kit has to offer, AmericanMuscle recommends a custom tune with a Mustang Handheld Tuner to reprogram the vehicles computer (ECU) for proper operation.

      Application. This Kooks Header and matching catted X-pipe combo kit is designed specifically for the 2005 to 2010 4.6L GT and Bullitt Mustangs equipped with a manual transmission. Includes gaskets and 02 extensions.

        Amazing sound, amazing performance

        It has only been a few days but the difference is night and day. At idle, the change is subtle. When you lay on it boy does it wake up. It tough to judge the gains as I had gears done at the same time but overall I'm more than pleased with the outcome. Highly recommend.

        5 2005 GT - DougB Installation Time: Full Day

        Went from O/R x pipe to these

        It's obviously quieter than an "off-road" setup but it still has a great deep tone and made my car legal in VA. Went with Kooks for the fitment and quality of the pipes, great sounding setup.

        Oh my goodness

        I love my kooks and the performance gain is second to none. I running TB, cams, cai and 93 octane tune and I must say I’m in love. I know the kooks are a bit pricey but it’s worth, so worth. My car runs smooth and sound great. Deep nice tone and no raspy sound in the cabin. This is a must get. Thanks AM.

        4 2005 GT - MikeR Installation Time: Weekend

        Great Product

        Only got them installed this weekend after purchasing almost a year ago. The install took approximately 10 hours using jack and stands but this was my first time doing a fairly significant install. Be aware the driver side header especially does not offer much room to install and tighten the bolts 2 bolts took over a half hour to tighten. You will require various different wrenches and ratchets with different length handles and extensions (good quality tools recommended). There is not a significant volume increase but the exhaust not is much deeper when paired with my Magnflow cat back. I also paired these with a Bama performance tune so I do notice a slight difference in power. I have not had the car on a dyno so can not give actual numbers. Would definitely recommend especially for those who want to try nd keep a street legal car with cats.

      How long do they typically last on a daily before corrosion and all that starts happening?

      • Being as these are manufactured from 304 stainless steel, you should not see any rusting through. However, ultimately any surface rust or discoloration entirely depends on your driving conditions. The saltier and wetter the air is, the quicker it will happen.

      The 2005 GT has three sensors. Where do you suggest connecting them to and will I need another extension?

      • The 2005 Mustang GT will have 2 front O2 sensors, and 2 rear O2 sensors. these will install into the provided O2 sensor bungs, and will use the included O2 sensor extensions for the front O2 sensors. The rear sensors will not require any extensions.
