I need help! I may be purchasing headers next month, but I'm not sure which to buy. I was going to go with Mac cause their kind of cheap, but then their quality kind of sucks...Right now Im thinking of buying JBA's what do you guys think??? I have x-pipes so can't get the long tubes without modification and I'm just trying to be cheap right now. I really just want them to get a louder meaner sounder from the engine...

STAY AWAY FROM MAC. There coting on the headers will start peeling and cracking off. BBK's and JBA's Are some good headers. If you got some extra cash i would get them jet coted. Good luck [Big Grin] [burnout]

DO NOT GO TO SPEED MERCHANT. You are better off getting them off the net. Ford Motorsport's are also some good headers.

Jet coeting i think is like an extra 50-100bucks. not sure, But it is worth it. You will creat less heat under the hood. But if your low on cash then regular stainless steel would be ok. Up to you. I found these on Jegs.com Headers for 4.6

I got MAC 1 5/8" longtubes + off-road H pipe from a corral classified ad for $175. st5150 mostly did the install [Wink] it's hard the first time, but I've had those bitches on and off maybe 10 times since then. No doubt about it, longtubes are a pain. Can't smog with them on either. But hey, IMHO, the performance is worth.

I'm assuming that this is a 4.6 GT for some reason, slap me if I'm wrong. Brother's has the same prices as Jeg's but they are Mustang specialists, and they're the back door to BBK, so they always have it in stock. It's also a shorter trip from LA than Ohio.

shit,
i found my set of mac unequals shortys 1 5/8"
for $25 and a matching off road h-pipe 2.5" for $36 and a pair of two chamber flow basterds for $50 with the cat backs and all...
mac headers are allright only complant is the header bolts come loose every now and then..
i got these parts from ebay and part out cars.
although used and had surface rust they work great...and is loud as hell..so loud i put the stock muff back on because two cops gave me looks as if they wanted to flip a bitch and pull me over [Big Grin]

FYI: you will notice very little (well none really) difference in sound from shorty headers...

Yeah I saw the FMS on JEG’s there like 350 or so with Jet Coating. I’m going to get those. Best Price I’ve seen yet.

Hmmmmm well some of our members have them on and And the engine idle is a lot meaner and bit louder.
