I'm looking for a place to get headers from and will install. Can you guys suggest any places... I know of a few but just wanna know whats out there and what prices they might be asking for ... I have a 2001 GT and I'd possible be interested in shortie headers... Thanx Fellas...

Buy the headers from somwhere like summitracing.com and then take them to a shop for installation. Unless the shop wants you to buy headers from them, you will get a better deal though summit. There is a smog shop/performance shop that will install headers and such here in Fairfield. I know for a fact that they won't give you any greif about the headers either. It isn't a "hook up" but they do good work and like performance vehicles when they roll through. So no problems like, "I can't install that..."

I wouldn't waste my time and money for shortie headers on a 01 GT...I think they're worth about 5-7rwhp...Shortie headers are smog legal though, but long tubes are way more beneficial...
Try Apex(Santa Clara), BigBoyRacing(Fremont) or maybe someone from cafords if you need some work done on your Stang... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Yes, or else you will fail the visual inspection.

Exactly the LT's on the 4.6's are a bitch, not the funnest Header job out there.

Yeah I would have to agree you wont see any real benefits from going with headers unless long tubes. They always leak ecspecially if your cars lowered plus the going rate for a shop to install headers is a grip my friends shop want like 500.00 for the install plus you buy the headers. I put some headers on a old girl friends SN95 shortie BBKs and they where a pain in the ass and they leaked constantly plus really there wasnt much to be felt power wise at least from what I could tell, but her car is an AODE car so you really cant tell with only 5-7 horses.
