I just took my mustang to find out what is up w/ my exhaust. I was quoted $300 to replace with OEM's.

How hard are headers to change? Also, anyone know where I could pick up some decent aftermarket ones to upgrade a bit for a good price? I'm not even sure what brands are good and what ones to avoid no matter what.

 

Do you want longtube headders or shortties?

 

Stock headers are easy, just take your time and have a backup car incase you break something and need to make a parts run.

Get exhaust manifold gaskets and that is it for the parts bill.
If you remove the EGR then get an EGR gasket.

 

Check Ebay for 94-97 headers, 98 will work too but they have an air tube on the pass side that would need to be capped.

 

Long tubes will give you an actual boost in performance.

 

yea aftermarket shorties are a waste of monies get long tubes or stocks

 

Well I wouldn't say a waste of time..Maybe what 3-5 hp diff? Shorties are a bit** to put on so I can just imagane the LT'S are alot worse. Speaking from experince. Had a header exhuast leak had to drop the whole engine to fix it. BTW I love my shorties.....

 

Alright, so longs beat shorties. Are there any brands to steer clear of?
