If I decide to get Bassani's mid-length headers for my 04 GT will I have to install them the same way I would LT's? Does it require the motor to be lifted out?

 

Well, I have an 02 GT andwe did not need to "lift out" the engine, it just needed to be raised a bit. I did not even try to do it myself. From what my mechanic told me, it wasn't a walk in the park. I think he spent about 8 hours on it. Mostly frozen bolts stuck in the heads. You never know what you'll run into. Yours might be easier with a newer car than mine. Good luck.

 

Yea...I didn't mean to lift the motor out, but like what you said. Just raise it a bit. I would still have to do that though with the mid-lengths as well?

 

yes. its just at tough to install as lt's. just get a shop to do it. it's what i did

 

I am looking into midlengths as well. Fortunately I have a tubular K-member on my car that leaves plenty room for such a job. But do these take away any from ground clearance? My car is driven on street and I need it to be useable.

 

My friend has LT's with it lowered 2" and I have shorty's with an X-pipe lowerd 1.5" and mine is the same height as his is. He has the same clearance from the front all ways to the back as were I have a little more up front, but still have crappy clearance out back. I can barely go over a 12oz. can of soda lying down. So all in all he has more room than me up front because his car is lower than mine. I would say it's partly due to I have MAC X-pipe. I'm sure some other brands hideaway more.......
Midlengths are a waste of money..IMO They do nothing more than shorty's. When was the last time you seen a car race and get dynoed for top HP with midlengths??? Not talking about Bassani sponsored ads either!

 

Remember this....if you are going to run the Bassani mid lengths, you must also have their Stainless x-pipe to bolt on !

I wanted to go with the LT's, but I don't know how that will work out with emmions. I'm from Illinois and unfortunatly we have that crap. I've heard that it's all done electronicly now, but I've was in Hawaii for 4 years and havn't been around to know what they do now. Anyone from Illinois know for sure if I would be able to pass with O2 sensors? I've heard I can and that I can't.
