    Does anyone know what is involved in the installation of MAC long tube headers and a shorty off-road chamber h-pipe? I received all the parts but I've never put headers on a stang before.. Does the engine have to be lifted or anything? No shops around here are willing to install this setup due to the non-catted h-pipe. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I haven't done an 05/06 yet, but the Fox bodied cars often required jacking the motor up. Gonna be a tough task if you don't have access to a lift. The fox-cars had steering shaft interference issues and I DO NOT think that'll be an issue with the 05+
    BTW, I haven't seen any dyno numbers on the setup you got . . .have you?

    They did this in an issue of 5.0 a few months back. No motor jacking necessary. Seems like a very easy install. Remove the O2 sensors, the starter for clearance, then unbolt and rebolt. Reuse the stock gasket. It was the 5.0 with the Toyo Mustang on the cover.
