Headers: Kenne Bell vs ATR

[420]

I can't seem to find a whole lot of information on the Kenne Bell headers, but all the stuff that I can find keeps referring back to the ATR headers. Are the Kenne Bell's the same design, or just similar? Which one will do better on an aggressive TSM-style car? Thanks in advance!

What about the Poston headers?

I've been reading that the ATR/KB headers outperform the Poston's...

I have used both.............the atr's leaked and did not line up to the heads properly(maybe things are better now?)(or i got a bad set?).

The Kenne Bell headers are it!
Install them once and never worry about them again........no leaks/better clamps(v band) etc.
I have a set for sale if interested.........i went to a bigger downpipe and put the stock manifolds back on untill my custom set is made.

I'll second the so-so fit of the ATR's, since I just went thru installing them on a new setup I put together. Once everything is lined up and sealed, they are real nice. ATR's quality control is for crap. How can they have my turbo and wastegate in their posession, make a set of headers and DP to fit, using a 3" flange when the turbo uses a 3 5/8 flange? Just plain stupid. Nothing at all like their older exhausts which fit like a glove out of the box.

I love ATR stuff, but If the KB's are still available, I would check them out.

Turbo Lou had huge problems with a set of
Burrheads for a Stage 2. Just FYI, but Lou was mega-pissed.

Jim,

I went through exactly the same thing with them. I sent them everything turbo, DP, gate and they still got it wrong. Then dealing with Sherry and her BS.....Never again.
