Default Exhaust headers 88 5.0

Did all 5.0 GT'S come with steel exhaust headers?

truth! small tube unequal length headers since what... the 80's?

with that being said, the factory pieces arent exactly good...

i wanna say ive seen an '82..... but who knows.

yeah the stockers are junk....at all the pinch points they are probably 1 1/2" at best

but at least the rest is pretty decent. i just get too frustrated and cut it all off.

if your looking for new or upgraded.....get long tubes...you'll be very glad you did just on sound alone.
