Headers & H Pipe
Anyone have headers and/or h pipe on their 05' GTs yet? Im looking to put them on & am just wondering if anyone who has added them has theird dyno'd yet to see power gains/results? If so can you list them?
Thanks in advance....

RE: Headers & H Pipe
Im looking at the JBAs too. They are crazy expensive though, just for the headers is a crazy amount of money in my opinion.
The owners of my local mustang shop actually has the same exact car as me & they put on the JBA long tubes with the off road h-pipe & mac axle back exhaust & it sound ridiculous (in a good way) so thats what enticed me to want to do it. he has a bunch of other stuff done though, CAI, chip tunes ect,... he is making about 330rwhp right now. He told me to wait a lil while because he is having problems with the tunes a lil bit & the check engine light is coming on & off, he still cant do burn outs ect,....so Im waiting for him to get it right before I jump in.
Did you add anything else besides the headers & h pipe? Did you have to add the custom tune because of it? Anything else at all? Did it cause any other flaws on the car such as the engine light ect,...?
Do you really FEEL the difference with the headers & pipe? I know it sounds incredible already!
Any info is very helpful,...
Thanks

RE: Headers & H Pipe
check out my website to see all my mods. i have had it dyno tuned and there has been no problems at all. as soon as i get back to houston this weekend, i am adding the bbk throttle body, steeda tri ax shifter, and charge motion plates; then it is back to the dyno.
as far as feeling the power, let me just say that i have already embarassed an 04 vette and also a kawasaki ninja on the highway
ps. the ninja kill really swelled my head up. i had my buddy in the car with me and he had never been in a new mustang. anyways, the ninja rolled up on me and revved his engine. i dumped it into third and took it to about 90 then into 4th till 125 and finally let off when i had for sure smoked him. he seriously followed us till we exited just to ask me what all i had done to my car. he took the loss quite well though...

they have the bbk throttle body advertised but from what i hear, it wont be out through them for a couple months...somewhere else in this forum, someone had a link for it through bbk but it was like 50 bucks more than rpmoutlet. my shop guy told me that he can get ahold of one though. i'll let you know for sure on monday when i get back to houston and get ahold of him.
