Yeah I have Mac LTs and I haven't had a problem. I have heard from people and mechanics that BBKs have a tendency to warp where the flange meets the heads.

Worst mod dollar for dollar for the 4.6 and I got that from vendors that sell them and shops that are listed in MM&FF. Spend elsewhere. Stage 2-3 heads and large cams would be first before headers and then I have seen SC'd Stangs with the stock manifolds! Enjoy the 8-10whp for the $1000. if you need any help from a shop.
Actually the long tubes are the best bolt on hp with a mid pipe.The lt's and the mid pipe are good for about 25hp give or take.The best mod i did to my car

I have SLP and have no complaints at all. They're a little more expensive (not as bad as Hooker though), but they were amazing quality and fit perfect.

I can't wait until I get a set of slp lt's to finish up my slp exhaust.
