Default installing mac equal length short tube headers....

well i got my headers a couple days ago and spent yesterday and most of today installing them. If you plan on getting these i suggest you having a lot of time on your hands. I had 2 or 3 people working on it the whole time and it took about 15 hours. I still am glad i didn't pay to have them installed, but they take a lot of work. I must say they sound pretty good though and give it a much healthier tone.

Yeah I had some issues with these headers. Do you have leaks? I had to heat the headers with a torch to get them to sit right because of a warped flange.

If your motor mounts were good they should slide right in. Had to replace my mounts cause they were collapsed and the equal length Mac slid right into place. And my other mustang same thing only used BBK equal lenth.

no i don't have any leaks, and I wouldn't be suprised if my motor mounts were screwed up.
