I assume your car is somewhere between 96-04??? I'm sure it will work, but the question is how well. If the fitment is good, i would think that you're good to go, but who knows with a name like Speed Daddy lol.

are shorties even worth it? may be cheap but then to install them (price if not doing them yourself/headach if you are) vs the gains you may see...

you can get long tubes for like 280ish... I just bought some flowtechs for like 268 or something from jegs. there was another guy with a yellow 2v in his sig (tims gt or something) that picked up like 4 tenths in the 1/4 with just the addition of a long tubes no tune. They wee small company like hedman, flowtech, ect... said they bolted up fine as did mine. Ill tell you right now not to buy shorties, I bought ford racing shorties when I first got my car and I DID NOT FEEL ANY IMPROVEMENT... just a waste of time and moneI

+1. The only reason 2 get shorties is 4 looks cause thats all they r good 4. I wouldn't even install shorties 4 looks cause all that work 2 get a look, not worth it. LT's FTW.

why would you even consider those? like said you can get a GOOD pair of headers for not too much more. u should be able to find a pair of used mac lt's for about 250-300.

why not? money was tight and i had a few projects going and I was on a budget. didnt want used headers... cant find macs new for 250. whats wrong with them? the name? do you have flowtechs? do you know of any problems? nothing,no, no and no... just ASSUMING shi1t. mustang wasn't fast enough so you bought an R6. Any mods? hardly a speed fix, leathal track weapon no doubt but not a speed fix. and ask this guy in the vid why he bought flowtechs LT's since they arent EVEN WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION... looks like they are doing their job. got sideways and still went 11.1 (same exact setup I have)

who **** in your cheerios this morning?

i wasn't talking about flowtechs dumb****. i was referring to those hong kong ebay import headers the OP posted. you must work for flowtech then if your going to go ape**** when i didnt even say anything bad about them.

and yes the bike had mods, i just returned it to stock about 2-3 weeks ago and i'm trying to sell it. power wise i had a full exhaust, 520 kit w/ -1/+2, BMC air filter, PC and a dyno tune.
