Hey whats up everyone, this is my first thread on this forum because I just got my 97 cobra last tuesday but not new to mustangs, I owned a 1966 mustang but I had to sell it. I have a question about headers I did a search but didnt find what I was looking for. I want headers for my car and I plan to keep it N/A and I can't remeber if shorty or full length are better for N/A. Also what is a good reliable company for headers? Thanks for the help.

 

I've heard that bbk, hooker, and jba are all good brands. definately go longtube though. If you can afford i would buy sean hyland longtubes. they're about $800 but i've heard of a 40hp gain at the wheels with them. I would not buy mac though. many people swear by them but i've heard of a lot of them causing problems.

 

Slp,Kooks, and Bassani are also decent brands! Im a fan of Kooks just not the price!

 

thanks for help guys... i was looking at those sean hyland headers i found a complete system with headers all the way back to themufflers for around900 whichsounds like agood deal i was just wondering if this reallyisa good deal and if this is a good brand to go with?

 

long tubes are generally easier to piece pipes and cats to. shorties are a pain in the *** too.

Longtubes also have a better deeper/throatier sound imo.

 

o ok thx that exhaust system i found is for a 03-04 cobra and i have a 97 so it wnt work but i did find there long tubes they are like 450-500 and an extra 250 for ceramic coating. is that coating worth the 250?

 

I say its worth it.. But that sounds a bit low for long tubes... Im not sure... I've really only looked up long tubes for 99-04 stangs...
