will shorty headers really make a diff?
Hey i'm a newbie on here and i had a question.....I recently bought a set of shorty headers, throttle body, thottle body spacer, and cold air intake for my 2007 Mustang GT/CS......how much difference will this actually make in my car? I've heard mixed answers......

a good difference, I have experience with both now, and I would say that for street cars, average folks, shorties are fine, the main difference to me is the sound, long tubes sound really good, but I think its just one of those imaginary differences for the most part. Now your throttle parts were probably a waste of money at this stage in the game, but they to will help, you need to get a high flow or catless mid pipe... I think 30hp increase with a tune would not be unreasonable

The shorty headers will not neccessarily give you an hp/tq boost. What they will do is move your powerband around so that you receive more at some peak ranges, notably down low.

I've noticed a little difference with my shorties especially down low. They are a pain to put on though. Don't really know about the 3v's but it made my car sound more muscular. I agree with everyone else buy a tuner. The SCT is very, very easy to use and the guys from Breenspeed are very customer friendly. I would also invest in some gears and once again the tuner will help you calibrate your odometer.
