I prefer ARH, better fit and finish in my opinion. They are also more complete with their hardware, and I don't like the Kooks gaskets at all, just took apart a truck that had them on there with 2000 miles on them, and they need to be replaced due to exhaust leaks.

Here is what we gained with ARH:

I'm with mike, the fit and finish is alot better. I've changed heads a few times and my ARH have never leaked. Still using the same gaskets and hardware.
