What year/model mustang are you running? Its hard to give an exact nuber, but anywhere from 10-25 hp. You should definitely feela difference from your stock system, and it should sound awesome.

You should feel a noticable increase in throttle response, pull, and sound.

From what I hear, shorty headers are no better than stock manifolds.

LET ME CLARIFY SOME THINGS. . . . I HAVE A 2000G.T. WITH LONG TUBE HEADERS, H-PIPE, K&N FILTER,UPGRADE TO THROTTLE BODY, I DONT KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN A CHIP INSTALLED.. HAVENT GOTTEN THAT FAR INTO IT YET. I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE 4.6 V-8... I'M USED TO THE 5.0 I ALSO DONT KNOW IF A GEAR HAS BEEN INSTALLED BUT THE RPM'S SEEM REALLY HIGH COMPARED TO MY OLD 95 G.T.THE CAR HAS BEEN LOWERED, SUB FRAME CONNECTORS WELDED IN,SHORT SHIFTER. ANYWAY I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW ABOUT HOW MUCH H.P. MAY HAVE BEEN GAINED.
