header question

[trustno1]

Hello all. Got a quick question on some headers. I own an 2009 gt/cs and want to order some headers so...... when I look in the catalogs I see several different "kinds" and I was wondering which set should I order?
1) ceramic
2) stainless
3) chrome

and should I go with long tube or short tube?
I will be ordering them from FORD RACING and I want the most power I can get..... THANKS

Long tubes for maximum power gains and you want 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless doe not require any coatings they will last without them.

+1 on the long tubes

I did the Kooks stainless with jet-hot coating this way I know they won't rust since they are stainless and the jet hot coating helps keep the temps down in the engine bay.

I had a set of aluminum with Jet - Hot... But the coating ended up peeling off after a few years.

S.S. Long tubes.....Shortys are a waste of $$$.

Your stock manifolds actually flow pretty well, pretty much like a set of shorties.
You could expect to see gain around 25rwhp when changing to longtubes. If you go with Kooks, they use nothing but 304 aircraft quality stainless, hand-welded right in North Carolina (that's right HAND-WELDED). Like previously posted, if you purchase a set made with 304 stainless, you wont have to worry about a coating. However, the stainless will turn blue (which i happen to like), but the coating will help with that and help with underhood temps. Call Todd @ Steeda and I will get you a great price on a set of Kooks.

If you've got any for an '08 sixer I'll probably end up calling you!
