Headers

[MurderStang]

I'm completely new to forums, and this site. Just curious if Long Tube Headers can fit on my stang without modification. I have heard yes, but all research points to no. I recently bought PaceHeader Shorties, and was wondering if I made a mistake?? If so, what is the flow difference between Shorties, and Long Tube?

95' GT 5.0 Auto Trans.

BBK makes long tubes that bolt right on i belive but any long tube is going to be a pain in the A@$. Long tubes make a more low end grunt where shorties do add power but not as much, But either one is better then stock Ive never seen any body running the pace headers but some one else should chime in

BBk's are not designed for auto trans. Make sure to read the fine or call the manufacturer to double check before ordering but long tubes are worth every penny!!

Mac makes a set for auto cars. Longtubes are a hassle to put in, but they are worth it in my opinion.

1994 Mustang GT with a T5 I've got BBK LT's on my car they fit well but are definately a pain in the butt to install but in my opinion worth the effort.

 

[MurderStang]

Okay, thanks for the input. I'll definitely let you guys know how they turned out, + install time for future Shorty buyers.

 

[revhead347]

Yeah, I'd be interested to know. I don't know anyone who has ever used Pacesetter headers on a Mustang.

Kurt I had a friend with a set on his fox. It was a disaster. Nothing but problems as far as fitment went. But to the op, l/ts are worth it. Just get a good set.

The only thing I know about Pacesetters is that they are cheap. A lot of the Chevy guys like their stuff though.

I don't know who told you they are cheap, do you mean the material is cheap? I know they are going to rust on the outside, I'm not concerned with that; I didn't get the stainless, and I realize the consequences.

I have MAC 1-5/8" long tubes (MAC-TF94015) on mine and it wasn't too much hassle getting them in. Definitely worth it.

These are how my headers looked when new, and they still look almost new 3-1/2 years since I installed them.

As in, inexpensive. I've never even seen a set for a Mustang. I have no idea how the fitment is.

So I got the PaceSetter headers in. Took a beginner, and an advanced gear head about 16 hours. Though there was no modification needed, there was a lot of stuff to take out, and move around. Worth it. Sound and throttle response way better.

 

[revhead347]

Pics would be nice if you get a chance. Are they 1 and 3/4" primaries?

Kurt

 

[MurderStang]

Yeah Rev, I'll get those pics up when I get some real free time. And no, they're 1 and 5/8.

What did you do, rebuild the motor while you were at it?

 

[MurderStang]

haha no, I have never put on headers before, and he has only done it on other older cars that have a lot more space in the engine compartment. And, that's with food and smoke breaks..

You will get there...

 

[revhead347]

16 hours doesn't sound unbelievable at all. There's a steep learning curve to getting them in. Once you have done it once though, it goes pretty quickly.
