Do they even make LT's for the 4.0? I have yet to see any. It'd be interesting to hear some on a 6 tho. I'm curious to see how that would sound...

LT ceramic= http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
LT steel painted= http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

I looked into them, but couldn't find a shorty crossover w/cats for them and for a single exhaust. I want to keep my single exhaust since duals on a n/a 4.0 shows no gains over a single exhaust axelback. Not sure if install is harder for them or anything else though. I think I also heard kooks makes LT headers for our cars but I don't know the site or prices they sell at.

But if you go with some sort of Longtube the gains will be greater. And it will be a hell of a lot louder
Not looking for huge gains right now and had a problem getting the right crossover for a single exhaust. And I just want a little something done on my exhaust right now to help sound and hp a little.

I also hear LT's mess with the a/f ratio a lot and I hear a dyno tune for them is necessary, which I don't have the money for right now.

How do you like the charger? Ive been thinking about buying one but have heard i should get a new driveshaft first due to the stock one breaking. Any recommendations of driveshafts that arent very pricey?

Does anyone on hear run LT headers and a single exhaust?

It's something I might wanna do down the road with a dyno tune possibly, but I know they don't sell shorty mid-pipes (let alone with cats) for a single exhaust mustang V6. I know the gains would be nice up top, but I am not sure about how much it would cost for the LT header install or custom mid-pipe fabbing by a performance or exhaust shop.

You ain't kidding, $1100 for the system plus install would probably be costly or a bitch.

Did nav have a before after dyno with the LT's?
