Default 99 4.6 Long Tube Headers?



I have a 99 GT Convertible 35th Anniversary Ed. Here are my mods:</P>


Performance</P>


Subframe Connectors, Fenderwell ColdAir Intake, 3.73 gears, underdrive pulleys, flowmaster exhaust</P>



Exterior</P>


Style Bar, Painted Interior, Leather, 35th Package</P>


</P>


Should I install BBK's 1 5/4 long tube headers or go with the shorty headers?</P>


When I do the long tube's I'm going to install offroad pipes. My question is should I do more mods before I go ahead with the headers?</P>


Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</P>


</P>

WHat ever X pipe you get make sure it's the smaller one that works with the long tubes.</P>

I'm thinking about BBK they seem to have good products. In addition, I was actually considering going with the H-Pipe instead of the X because of ground clearance.</P>


I'm planning on lowering my car and I don't want the x-pipe to be an issue. Also, are the long tubes going to get in the way of my lowering springs?</P>


Thanks for your responses.</P>

a BBK long tube, Bassani shorty x-pipe, &amp; Magnapack cat-back will give u a great sound PLUS a huge performance gain. If u just want sound, &amp; less performanceget the BBK's, a Pro-chamber, &amp; then either the Magnapacks, or dare say it...Flowmater cat-back. Screw shorties...waste of money.</P>


Lowering shouldn't be an issue if you only go 1.5in. Any lower, &amp; I don't know.</P>

If your car is burning oil, the headers have nothing to do with that.
