Default Header help....94 5.0

I was planning on getting new headers for my 94 GT this spring but I cant seem to find any that are for an automatic. Both BBKs on American muscle (long tube and shortys) are fit for manual only. Any help on finding some would be appreciated. Thanks!

Alright I kinda answered my own question. I found the MACs, but which exact ones should I be getting? And then do I have to pair them with a MAC mid or can I get a different brand mid?

I have long tubes on my Cobra and I love them. Long tubes will give you more power, but you cant go back to your stock catted mid pipe.

I already have an off-road X on there. I just wanted to upgrade. Do you know which Mac LTs I should be getting from that link? And then do I have to pair the Mac LTs with a Mac mid or can I get BBK or some other brand? My catback is SLP too btw.

If you already ave an offroad X pipe, you dont have to worry about any transmission fitment issues. Just buy a set of headers that match what youve got now.

The X I have on there now is just a sh*tty Pypes brand. I plan on getting a BBK or other higher end brand. American Muscle support said their BBK headers are only fit for manuals and I wont be putting them on myself so I want ones I know will fit without any problems.

The BBK off road x-pipe I have is not very impressive quality wise. The part in the middle that makes the X is pretty much two pieces of stamped stainless sheetmetal sandwiching the two inlet and two outlet pipes. The stamped pieces are welded to each other and the pipes to close it all up. When I hung the exhaust there were 3 or 4 pinholes in their welds and I had to go over with my welder and close up.

It was brand new BBK ordered through Summit. Bastards could have at least used all stainless flanges. I think 2 or 3 out of four are stainless.

Thanks for the info. Still need help on which headers I should be getting and if I can pair them with a diff brand X.

Alright so no other mids besides a Mac can be used with their headers? I'm not too familiar with Mac...are they a solid brand and worth getting their headers/mid setup?
