well that could buy u one header and no installation they are kind of pricey especially for a really good set, u can find them being sold for 300-700 bux depending on brand and seller then installation is a whole other amount of money, look to spend about a grand for the headers and install. thats just an estimate ill be installing my own so havent got quotes on an install

+1 on that one...I just dropped about 500 on headers, install was like 600 and I had to get a tune after that because they are long tube headers. You could get shorty headers but for the of the install the gains aren't there. I go with like a short throw or something for the amount you are looking to spend.

my wife is a gear head she can install, she has showed me how to rebuild my motor in my caprice a few times, so install is no needed. just need the headers.

i guess i will save up more,

hahahaha LMAO, take her to the races for a weekend. You obviously can't afford headers and don't realize whats involved.

Bang for your buck? MAC or PYPES.

Quality headers on the cheap side.

Want to do it right and go all out?..KOOKS, SLP, ARH.

Oh and you will have to get a shorty mid pipe(x or h) so they will hook up to your catback

OK then, open up your wallet. And don't bad mouth Ford or I might B*tch smack your noob-a$$ through the screen. That being said, there are several options. But I don't really like you so do a search like everyone else. There are about 5 billion Headers threads here. Good Luck.

Edit: lilcrate you ruined my fun...lol
