I am new and so is my 2007 mustang gt I'm haveing installed a ford racing shorty headers and 4.10 gears . Are the headers any good? And is there a chance of my ceramic headers rusting?
Thanks

you will see NO POWER with the shorties headers unfortionately on the new stangs. Longtubes are the way to go. make sure you get your computer calibrated as well for the 4.10 gears or your speedometer will be way off.

Ive never seen ceramic headers rust. it dends on how well they coated the headers with the ceramic.

The whole point of ceramic vs stainless steel or other materials is that ceramic wont rust. He is partially correct, you may see 2-3 hp with a complete exhaust system. But I agree that LT's are the way to go.

the ford dealership said I would see about a difference of 15 to 20 hp with my roush axle back exchust system

Lol, a ford dealership also told me that I wouldn't be able to rewire my mach 460 myself and I wouldn't be able to find a wiring diagram for it myself.

I guess you could see 15 horse if you were blown to like 800-900 horse on a cold day. But that is still pushing it.

They are always going to inflate the numbers to make a sale.

Never believe a sticker or someone that is actually selling the product.

I guess I will have to settle for the nice sound that the headers will give me. It's all about the cool factor

I've got ceramic shorties, CAI and 410 gear, SS exhaust, along with a tune

I'm going in for a dyno pull next Saturday morning.

The guy that built my car is guessing I am pulling an additional 20 to 25 horses at the rear wheel.

We'll see!

I can't wait to here your results! How does the shortys sound?

Polecat · April 1st, 2007, 07:31 PM

You ever seen the movie Bullitt?

My car sounds exactly like that car!

Dont do the shorties unless you just want to dress up the engine bay!

garydahl · April 2nd, 2007, 02:23 PM

will the shortys make my car sound better? I'm looking for a 60s head sound to go along with my 410s

The tune is what is going to give you half of that power. In a 3v you can easily see 10 horse if it is a fully custom tune.

CAI and shorties may give you an extra 5 each with a tune yes.

But you can't really be sure if you got that 20 horse unless you went to that exact dyno before the mods.

Those are nice engines though. I only can imagine what those 4.10s did for yah.

You guys don't think this is going to draw attention of the cops? I don't think that the shortys are illegal? I don't mind drawing attention but not the type that is going to get me in trouble. But I think I will have more trouble behaveing myself with the 410s
