Brand new bolts, the old hooker headers that were on the car had the same problem.

hello iam new to the mustang and would like to know which setup would give me more power?

1. headers 1/5.8 or 1/3.4 long tube to straiht pipes to mufflers?

2 headers to x pipe or h pipes to muffler?

and one other question what does x or h pipes do compaired to straight pipes?

thanx for youre help this is a christmas present for my brother thank you again and merry christmas.
1 5/8 will probably be the best unless you're pushing a lot of power. Shorties might be better unless your brother wanted long tubes specifically. Also, grab an X pipe or the Prochamber....you'll lose power if you go straight pipes.

jthorn, I put some thread locker on mine and tightened them pretty good and I haven't had any problems w/ them.

i think some threadlock might help....if it cant withstand those high temps
threadlocker would be a very BAD idea

Jthorn9... Have you ever heard of Stage 8 locking header bolts? look them up on ebay... well worth it!

Why is that Adder? I've done it on mine and never had a problem w/ them backing out or had much trouble removing the header bolts....
