mac and bassani are the only two companies i know that work with an aod car. bassani wants over $600 for their headers alone. remember, you have to get a short h-pipe that is also meant for an aod car because it will be different then the h-pipe for a manual tranny. i just paid $360 including shipping for my mac long tubes and catless h-pipe for my car which has an aod

I would not bother with long tubes unless your making quite a bit of power.

youll have trouble clearing that monster starter on older stangs. If you want mac headers, you have to upgrade to either an 92-95 starter or a mini high torque starter because the collectors will sit right on the starte r and you wont be able to get the starter in. because theres no room to move it. Thats how i did mines.
