Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could suggest some good headers to throw on a stock '89 5.0. (Won't be stock for long, got parts on the way.) Thx</P>

Ceramic Coated Shorties from BBK, or Longtubes but get the ceramic coated ones or they get used looking really fast. My preference...

accually, what i would do is buy some heddman longtubes ($115) and get them jet-hot coated ($250). the coating is sick and lasts forever, gauranteed. for $365 you get sick headers that will last forever.

I would go mac equal length or mid lengths...jet-coat is a waste....unless done of the inside of the tubes. they also make finally for the stang the step headers...I'm not a fan of the long tubes as they scrape..cause 02 problems etc..and you'll never get all the hp out of long tubes on a near stock engine...bigger is not better as you'll lose bottom end power
