KB vs. ATR headers

[Sy#26]

Any experience to share regarding either of these? As in overall quality, plug access, etc. Its time to add that last bit to my Sy, trying to decide on which make to use.

Thanks -

im told that they are both pretty much the same, besides a different turbo angle and access to plugs, i believe the kb's are better, but that is my opinion because i have them, also what 1 header lacks the other makes up for it, they are truthfully pretty similar.

kb will accomidate brodix heads atr wont. atr are stainless steel kb are not.

what bugs me about both of em is that the #5 primary runs so close to the valve covers and the collector being to close to the brake fluid. id prefer the #5 routed more towards the brake booster and then away from the brake fluid area...out more and then down.

mike lee made a heat shield to fix this problem in the past.
