A nice set of Ceramic Coated Tri-Y headers will do the trick for you. They will fit right in without any problems.

JBA mid-length headers w/ceramic coating part number 1650SJS (about 1/2 way down page). They can also provide you with an H pipe and a complete exhaust if/when the time comes. Top quality products and finish.

Well worth the money! I got mine from a JBA dealer on ebay for about 75 bucks cheaper then out of the magazines so I would attempt to go that route first.

Yup.. eBay seller Massive something or other. When talking to JBA I was told they were JBA's biggest reseller. I bought the complete package through them from the headers to tips and got an excellent discount. Add to that a 15% off eBay/Paypal coupon FTW!

Youre thinkin of massive_speed_system, I was looking at them but ended up going with ebay seller 'ponderosamustangco'. I dealt with them over the phone instead of through ebay and they cut me a great deal. Either one tho is still better then out of the magazines.

I agree about the JBA mid lengths. I have a clutch cable setup and everything works great. I have the 1650SJS and the H pipe that is 1650H. The cool part is its all stainless. The header flanges and tubing is also thicker than most other headers. Its very nice stuff.

While we are talking about JBAs does anyone know of a special wrench or socket that will fit on the bolts?

I had trouble tightening mine up. A small socket or even a box end wrench would not clear the tubing on most of the bolts. I had to use a small open ended wrench on half or more of the bolts. One bolt I think it was the 3rd from the back on the driver side, I actually had to cut a small open wrench in half to be able to tighten that one.
