| I say dont bother unless you're gonna do longtubes. Longtubes bairly gain anything and I dang sure wouldnt put myself through the hassle for something that wouldnt give me any gains. |

| but those cast iron manifolds are unsightly plus they take so long to cool down. i'd like to be able to get the heat out of there quicker when i go to the track... what equal length shorts headers aren't gonna help? just because I want to keep my cats doesnt mean i cant get equal legnth headers.... BTW Dave did you gut those cats yet? |

| Try to find some that use 304 stainless as their material. There isnt a better exhaust material out there. JBA's look good but they're 409 stainless, still a good material though. Also BBK has some, I think are mild steel but they are ceramic coated. I've always liked their quality to price, good quality at a great price on their products. There may be a good chance you'll need to tune the car after any header install and I know how you like running that ford canned tune so keep that in mind too. |

| Good point... I forgot about how picky these new ones are when you start messing with the headers..... i'll have to see if i can keep may warranty intact with an SCT tuner.... |
