Kooks 7010-KIT Universal Header Installation Hardware Kit with Stage 8 Locking Bolts
The Kooks 7010-KIT Universal Header Installation Hardware Kit provides everything needed for a leak-free, long-lasting header install on most V8 applications, featuring 16 Stage 8 locking header bolts with patented double-hex design and grooved locking clips that eliminate loosening from vibration and heat cycles — a common failure point with standard bolts. This complete kit includes premium MLS (multi-layer steel) header gaskets, copper collector gaskets, and stainless steel flange bolts for secure sealing up to 1,800°F.
Designed as the factory-recommended hardware for all Kooks long tube headers, the Stage 8 locking system prevents exhaust leaks and broken studs even after hundreds of heat cycles, making it essential for high-performance street cars, race vehicles, or off-road builds. The universal fit covers most domestic V8 engines (LS, Coyote, HEMI, etc.) and ensures perfect torque retention at 25–30 ft-lbs.
For anyone installing Kooks headers who wants zero chance of leaks or broken bolts, the 7010-KIT is the professional-grade hardware solution trusted by top builders worldwide.
