good place to have long tube headers installed
2004 cobra with 15,000 miles. i just put on my slp x-pipe with cats because i thought it would seal better and get rid of my exhaust leak, but the leak is still there and even more noticable, my car came with jba shorty headers and factory mid pipe. im thinking about long tube headers to get rid of my leaks. i just purchased the car last month and they gave me a 6 year warranty and i want to keep it. would the dealership put the headers on, or is there a good shop in central florida that could do it. im 1 hour south of gainesville and 2 hours north of orlando. would long tubes void my warranty if someone else installs them other than the ford dealership. ive taken the x-pipe off 3 times now to try and get rid of the leaks. i dont mind paying someone to deal with the headache of installing long tubes.

A dealership would install them but it will cost you. For longtubes you might want to go with ARH. ARH Longtubes are what I have and they are a solid 1-piece design so you do not have to worry about them leaking at the collector. Also when doing longtubes remember to buy another set of OEM Header gaskets and Ford Racing Stage 8 Locking Header Bolts.

i doubt that the header itself is what is leaking, it just the gasket prob, it wouldnt be to hard just to swap out the gasket on them in your garage. if you really want lt headers though then swap them out. arh are really nice header so they will cost u a pretty penny. ive had my bbk lt headers in my gt since 2003 when they were one of the 1st companies to have lt headers for my 99 gt, no leaks or cracks in the welds. obviously they are not as nice as the arh ones but no sense for me to replace them it they still work.
