Best LT headers??

RE: Best LT headers??
And the fitment!!! The fit is most important! Will they rub? Will they hit anything? Will they hang too low for speed bumps and such? Ease of installation? The fitment is directly related to the ease of install too. By far, the best fitting are ARH and Kooks, ask any Mustang shop that does these on a daily basis.

RE: Best LT headers??
I am happy with my SLPs but if you get the catted x-pipe the cats do hang low, not an issue if you don't plan on lowering like me but it is something to consider, the SLPscame standardstainless , ceramic coated, and for me only cost 699 , 200 for X -pipe , at the time all the other LT header brandswere pushing 1000, with ceramic coating extra as well as mid pipe extra.
Also the SLPs were 1 3/4" , I plan on adding a blower in the future and wanted the bigger primaries. Really depends on what you want to do, I know a guy who has some real cheap LT headers and he loves them, they have come down in price a bit, if it helps I had narrowed it down to either the SLPs for the reasons above or the JBA set-up with catted h-pipe, I picked up +10 rwhp/rwtq by adding the SLP headers and X-pipe, those are real world dyno numbers, not the BS all the header brands advertise:
+30rwhp/rwtq [:@]
I am very happy with sound, here is a short clip: http://www.houndbite.com/?houndbite=848
Everyone it says it is the best sounding Mustang they have ever heard, for what that is worth !!

RE: Best LT headers??
Kooks are what I'm planning to get, but not until after I go through the bottom end.. Since I'm FI, I wouldn't be surprised if LT's and a hi-flow cat setup adds like 20 RWHP.. That will put me outside of my comfort zone on the stock bottom end, so for now, no dice.
It never ends. I thought "Just this $6500 for the blower and I'll be happy".. Then "Just this $2500 for wheels and rubber and I'll be happy".. Then "Just this $9000 in body panels and paint and I'll be happy".. Now I need suspension, and a forged bottom end, and headers, and smaller supercharger pullies, and..............
Someone call a doctor. I've been bitten (more than once). I'm infected.

love my Dynatechs... again, like stated before, the hp numbers are really similar, really depends on the tune. each header just has a different sound.
