Whats the best headers to buy

[ThePope]

My fiancee is getting me headers for my birthday and I wanted to know what is a good set to buy. A set I had in mind are MAC. Lets hear what everyone has to say.

it depends on how much you want to spend. I personally think the BEST quality/performance headers are kook or slp. but then again you'll pay 700-800 for ceramic coated ones.

Well I know for sure she doesn't love me that much. LOL I think the most she would wanna spend is 500 the most.

 

[97stanger]

gotcha, then yeah ive heard decent feedback on MAC or BBK

I've heard very mixed reviews on MAC. I personally have BBK tuned length shorties on my car, they've been on there over a year now with no issues at all. They also went on really well too, no suprises with the install.

Hooker hands down from my expericences. To bad they are $$$

I know there are lots of guys on here with MAC. I have stock manifolds so I couldn't tell you which ones are the best. I'd suggest you look at ebay for the (possible) best price.

some have problems with MAC i hear.. but BBK is supposed to be pretty decent and can get a ceramic coated set for around 500 i belive.. check the classified section for a set

no no no on BBK. We just put on a set of ceramic coated longtubes on my brothers 97, ... after a horrible fit around the bell housing, (tremec tko) there was a exhaust leak on the bottom of the drivers side. they didnt weld a spot under the flange. I would just spend more on slp.. it will be worth it, trust me.. you only want to install them once.

 

[Shifty Powers]

SLP does not make them for our year cars.. only 03/04...

 

[stunner]

i got bbk shortiy headers and i have no problem with them

 

[97stanger]

shift, your wrong man. I have SLP longtubes on my 1997 GT auto!

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

Hooker, SLP, Kooks, I have heard great things about these brands. But heard horro stories about BBK and MAC

 

[birel21y]

Ya, his x-pipe for the long tubes didnt fit eather. it was made too narrow, and he had to get one of the tubes re-bent. It just sucks, cause even if you wanted to return or exchange them, its not even really worth it to re-install it all. I love BBK's products, but geeze...Tisk Tisk BBK.

 

[Shifty Powers]

then why on thier website does it have headers for only 03/04 DOHC motors?


and of coruse they make them for 96-04 SOHC motors.. so im sure theyr worth the money...

FUCKING A!!! still none for my car.. peieces of crap

 

[Foster98GT]

From my reasearch, i gonna go with BBK. I have one of their 0\R Xpipes, its great. I've also found out as far as headers go everything else is Too expensive.

03-04 headers should work... I know my buddy put 96 cobra kooks LT's on his 03

I've heard that the mac's and bbk's sometimes sends slag up threw the EGR valve and back into the motor... but to be honest if your doing Long Tubes ... why would you keep the EGR? I'll be getting some Mac's for mine later on down the road. but they will be gasket matched and no EGR.
