Header Selection Lontubes

datsundave3 · October 23rd, 2007, 09:40 AM

Hey, I'm an old 5.0 racer from 20 years back. Just bought a 94 cobra. Just getting ready to put on some long tube headers. Any advice on brand and best fit. Last mustang had LT BBK's and I loved them. How are the quality on the MAC"s.. Also, will the 87-93's work on my 94. Emmissions are of no concern THANKS

vfast · October 23rd, 2007, 03:03 PM

if LT's are a must buy a set with step ups in them for better hp's

baine21225 · October 23rd, 2007, 03:09 PM

again, mac is crap, but bbk are super nice, and should go ceramic while your doing it

vfast · October 23rd, 2007, 03:10 PM

yeah MAC isnt that bad, but would trust them on anything w/ 350hp +

+1 on stupid ass flowtech!

Hooker Headers FTW!

datsundave3 · October 23rd, 2007, 07:47 PM

Thanks for the info. I was leaning toward BBK's.. JBA and KOOKS are out of my price range.

Mac is far from a good brand...

Tony_90fox · October 23rd, 2007, 11:28 PM

Mac isnt the best, but they work for me.

87StangLX · November 10th, 2007, 08:46 PM

what is a good brand that is between say bbk and hooker as far as quality goes? (i can't go bbk cuz i got an auto)

Devine · November 10th, 2007, 11:10 PM

I just finished installing a set of BBK LT's and o/r X pipe. They're definitely decent, but I wouldn't say they had the best fit in the world, especially the x-pipe. I don't have any experience with hooker or jba, but I would be tempted to go that route if I had it to do over again.

Hooker FTW!

ryans88gt · November 11th, 2007, 02:24 PM

Hooker, Kooks, Hedman, just as long as you don't go ball and socket route. Get a 3-bolt flange style, worth at least 10 hp over the two-bolt ball and socket.

Personally, I'd just stay with shorties.

what flange are you talking bout? the one at the collector or the one at the head? cuz i'm pretty sure there's onyl two holes at the head...

Speedstang302 · November 12th, 2007, 09:04 PM

just playing man...no its the exhuast end of the headers...rather than the ball and socket style...they bolt together w/ only 3 bolts..
