the headers are simply a pain in the ass. no easy way around it unless you pull the motor out the bottem and then put em on the engines and then put the engine into the car.

as for patriot, there are no problems with them. they had a bad run when they first started making heads. i have seen no problems as of lately and know several people who have them on the mustangs and lightning and not a one of them has had a problem. they are good head for the money and if your wanting to save some moeny they are a great way to go. dont listen to ALL the bullshit you hear on the internet

They are great heads don't listen to anyone that says they aren't especially for the money.

For the shorty and mid-legnth headers, you can put them on the heads when you have them out of the car and install them together, I have had to do this to get mine tight.

Also, search for "stage 8 header bolts" on ebay, they are a life saver.

ight thanks man. whats the difference on the stage 8 bolts?

They "lock" on to the header flanges and won't back off. Believe me, they will be well worth the price....
