Default which longtubes? engines out and ready

so i rebuilt the engine on my 99' cobra after spinning a rod bearing

did forged 10.4 to 1 Ross pistons w/ H-beam forged rods, & new SVT racing crank, wonderings what my horsepower numbers might be and also, what kind of headers and midpipe i should go for! the engine is on the stand and ready

help me out guys, i saw a nice ceramic longtube set from BBK on americanmuscle.com, wondering what else might be better?

ARH, Kooks, or nothing at all. BBK is crap! Don't put that junk on your cobra.

They are about 1,500 but they also come with a matching midpipe. The headers and midpipe are both 304 stainless steel so they will last as long as the car and you wont have to worry about them rusting. Do it once and do it right. I have them on my car with the ford racing stage 8 locking header bolts. Check out lethalperformance.com That's where I get all my stuff from.

Well when you buy longtubes you need to buy a new "Short" Midpipe. Your catback will work with the new "Short" X or H.
