what are better for a pretty much stock mustang ford racing headers or equal lenght headers
Like adder said it depends on what you want to dowith the car. If you want a street performer I would get equal length headers (There's no reason not to) If you are going to build a strip car, long tubes FTW.
long tubes with a stock motor are pointless, all they would do is add a few horses at the very top of the power band, go with the shorty's and jba's are my personal favorite
It doesn't matter if they don't add any power like the others said if you anticipate a healthy build later on then why buy headers twice??? kinda pointless huh??? so first determine what you want to do with the car or where you want the car to be in the near future as far as performance is concerned and base you pick on that....if you don't care about gobs of power then just buy a set of shorty equal length headers
just go with the full length headers. you will need a new mid-pipe so just go with an off road pipe. summit has full lenght headers for like $100 and they work fine. they fit good and look good and have 1 5/8 primaries.
