RE: Good longtube headers??? HELP
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.

in terms of cheap brands, bbk and mac are good. make sure you get ceramic coated.
personaly i wont get longtubes until i either have any kind of h/c/i swap or supercharger.

On a FI car the LTs will make a massive difference, and it will keep improving as you up the boost. So far as a h/c car, I have yet to see one with the stock manifolds. Your just not going to get the high RPM boost in power without new manifolds (at least not as much).
BBK FTW. LTs are pretty much LTs, going to dyno very simliar, and the BBKs are a decent quailty at a good price.

yeah LT's will be a good mod for future modifications and will help add some extra ponies while staying NA and also make the car sound a little louder/better. Just get some BBK's man, for the price some of these other companies charge it's just not worth it...plus installation prices are pretty high unless u do it yourself. You can get ceramic coated like stated above if you plan on keeping the car a long time, if not just get the basic ones. Good luck with the modding!
