i had a set of BBK unequel length shorty headers for a long time sitting in the garage for the longest time. Ive been so busy with school, work, and a little bit of the girlfriend i guess my dad didnt think i would ever get them on. He took it to a mustang shop and had them put on while i was away. I was a little upset because i DONT like other people workin on my car (reason being when i started looking at the job that was done i noticed my oil dipstick and tube were removed but not reinstalled, my strut tower brace bolts were started but not finished, smog hoses were not tightened and the x pipe is leaking a little where my muffler pipes connect, and they kept the second set of gaskets i had purchased! mad is an understatement) and the BBK header bolts were used instead the locking bolt setup i was gonna buy. anyways are these bolts any good? headers have been on for 3days now ive been told that after the cold hot expansion of the headers you will have to retighten in a week, after that they should be alright, is this correct?

sry bout before had to vent a little so some people i know would understand. Plus i know my dad ment good by doing something nice.

Been there plenty of times, those header bolts will have to be re tightened,and the locking setup should of been used on them



Ive seen from reference marks, the exhaust expand 1/4 + inches when going hot to cold.
I really wish Ford Used Larger Bolts.

so i should keep checking them periodically. 1/4 inch thats alot, they were the chrome finished headers an im surprised that they havent blued yet, theres some but not alot of discoloration. Are the tubes made of stainless steel, then chromed?

after a month check them, they will eventually discolor
