10 Bucks!

Mac 1-5/8 shortys. Yea they look awful but they'll get sandblasted and painted at work. I know the separated flanges are prone to warping and a tough install but I test fitted them with all the bolts on a set of E7's I had in the garage and they lined up fine. Not bad for 10 bucks if you ask me.

EDIT: what's even crazier, I saw them for sale on craigslist. I go to see them and it's a guy I know and they're off a car that I used to own. lol

Nice I bought some just like that for $50 last year. but they were a 3-bolt pattern. Turned out they weren't actually made to fit fox-bodies like he said. I was mad.

good score!

I've yet to have a problem with the seperated flanges on my mac shorties, you should be fine. Nice buy

Next step is header gasket. I'm either going to use felpro 1415's or just ultra copper rtv by itself, hmmm....

 

[tannerc91gt]

I'd go with the felpro set

 

[Celeb]

That's what I'm thinking too. If I have to take them off for whatever reason, I probably won't feel like scraping/peeling off old rtv on both the header and the head. lol

They cleaned up ok

I've found that with the shorties it's hit and miss with the warping. The thing is, full lengths tend to warp easier but they're also much easier to pry on and tweak into place than the shorties are. Once the shorties warp they're HELL to get on right. Still not bad at all for $10. I've been thinking about trying my hand at making my full lengths a solid flange. I think if i bolted them up to a junk head and then made some connection bars and welded them on while they're bolted on that it would work without warping them.

Nice deal and they look 100% better!

Nice!

Now if i could only find a set of ceramic coated FMS shorty headers on CL!!
