Default HEADERS ON(WTF is the big deal)

Got my bbk shorties on today and WTF is the big deal...didn't notice anything other than it revs a little better than stock, and exhaust is a tad deeper..

I guess the only thing it did is clean up the engine bay....

Unequal shorties are only a slight improvement over stock headers. Should've done more research. If you wanted a better improvement, should have gone with equal lengths or, preferrably, long tubes.

if you were expecting a Seat of the pants feel difference = ain't gonna happen a complete free flowing exhaust on a mustang tends to produce 8-15 rwhp

With the stock E7 heads, the gains are low. They will help out future mods like H/C/I if you go that route in the future.
