$150 is a steal. I'm paying $450 at Modular Powerhouse and I thought that was decent. Putting them on yourself is going to be a major pain in the sack. Good luck.

Does anyone know if the SLP longtube headers are any better than the others, there like twice the price. Also will the SLP mid-pipe for the long tubes work on any longtube make?

And I read in another post that the k-member needs to be unbolted to install longtube headers. Is that true? I figured that mabye I would have to move the steering shaft and starter mabye....

Thanks

Both have there advantages and disadvantages... BBK headers wont leak after a few thousand miles like the hooker headers will, but the BBK's wont. the hooker headers are designed were you can change the clutch in your mustang without loosening the header on one side, where with the BBK you have to.

I personnaly have been told by almost everyone i know and everyone i talk to, to stay away from hooker, they arent worth the money they just cause a lot of problems. BBK is prolly the most known header out there for mustangs. if its between Hooker and BBK, BBK all the way
