Hey guys, looking into getting some headers. Seeing what you guys are running. Mainly looking for fitment issues, clearance, ect. Looking to get long tubes and h pipe with dumps. Thanks.
I'm looking for some headers for my 1990LX convertible.
I'll be having my friend install them and he has access to a lift.
Are there any fitment issues with the long tube Headers? Will the existing exhaust have to be modified?
If I choose to go with short tubes equal or unequal length ensure direct fitment.
In both cases what are some good brands?

What? No big green guy under the car to help you? Hulk, where are you?Longtubes are better, shorties are easier to install. Give a little, take a little. If you get the longtubes, you will need a matching midpipe. It's not exactly exhaust modification, but it definitely is more money. Depends on what you want. If you decide to get longtubes, just get the BBKs. There are no guarantees the matching BBK midpipe will match right up either. Last one I did had to be tweaked a little. I had to tie a ratchet strap around the inlet tubes and crank it down to get them in the right position.

I bet you do..
Short answer not enough to notice on a stock mustang regardless of the catback, which doesn't add much except a exhaust note.So a friend of mine gave me some free 1 5/8" shorty unequal length headers. Unfortunately I can't tell you which brand they are.
Just curious what kind of realistic hp gains I've made. Car has only 62k, is stock other than the headers, off-road H pipe and flowmaster super 44 mufflers.
Even if you ran the headers, had all the typical upgrades: TB, CAI, wires, 24lbs injectors and MAF ( overkill for stock)The car had stock headers on it before.
So you think the headers only added 5hp? And what about the rest of the combo with h pipe and mufflers?
