Default 1 3/4 shorty headers for a FOX

Who makes them and are they a PAIN? I'am installing a fresh motor with Trick Flow 170's in my 85 GT and seems like my small short headers are way smaller than my heads exhaust ports. I dont want LT's but would hate to restrict the heads any more than I have to. I've had headers that seemed like they have been port matched. Maybe that would be a option. Would I have to buy another H pipe to match the 1 3/4 shorties? I have BBK 2 1/2 now. Any info appreciated.

asking the whimps around here if installing headers is a pain.... is like asking if water is wet..

these guys will bitch about taking the little plaque off the top of the intake manifold..

exhaust is NOT hard to do on these cars... actually, nothing is. You want to have fun working on a car? Change the flywheel position sensor on a 4.0L jeep, or replace a starter on a Daewoo Leganza...

these stangs are one of the easiest cars to work on... period

Wow! Those are sweet! I'll have to save up awhile for those. I guess the old ones will have to do for now.

I have a set of 1 3/4 LT's on my coupe. I don't want to go thru that again.

The only kinda rough part about installing LTs was having to lift the engine up install the passenger side one. It's not something I'd want to do all the time but it wasn't that big of a deal.
