header pics, idle video and news

headers are done, finally got my car out of the header-jail and back to TPS for install and dyno tuning. Damn near had to bring the cops out before they'd come down to their own shop and let me have my shit.

Pics of the headers and a video/sound clip of it running right off the bare shorty headers:

Dude, it's about f*cking time they get your headers to you!!!

Love that last part... "Yeah, that was loud."

You still planning on selling it now?

AggieStang · February 20th, 2009, 05:57 PM

I did that once. Everyone should at some point, it's fun.

r3dn3ck · February 21st, 2009, 12:04 PM

still probably gunna sell it but I'll at least get to drive it once or twice first. If you turn it up so that my voice comes through at normal speaking volume you get the full effect. The audio quality of the recording was a lot better than I expected but only at high volume levels.

right on bro...!!

xXJayManZXx17 · February 21st, 2009, 01:04 PM

damn those headers are sick lookin and they sound amazing

... there custom right?

r3dn3ck · February 21st, 2009, 01:24 PM

yep... the sound is actually off my modded frpp shorties , the longtubes will be on the car as of monday, then I'll do another sound recording and we can compare and contrast.

It's amazing what 5 grand buys you. Realize that my Saturn (commute car) and my headers cost the same amount of money.

Sooo.......how much did you pay for the LT's?

99mustanggtman · February 21st, 2009, 04:11 PM

Are those ARH headers?

GreyWarrior07 · February 21st, 2009, 09:23 PM

so ... if i did my math right your saturn costed you 2500 and your headers costed 2500 ... is that correct ??? they do look damn sexy

ZoomZoomMFer · February 21st, 2009, 10:16 PM

BJs03GT · February 22nd, 2009, 12:05 AM

unless they give like 60 or 70 hp i don't see how they'd be worth 2500 in any way at all...you could be cammed with ported and polished heads for that much...

the headers and all the install and tuning comes to around 5k. There's about a grand or so in that assorted stuff. The headers themselves make up the rest.

No. They're custom made by a shop that fields an American LeMans series race team. I was lucky to get them but the whole deal ended up leaving a sour taste behind.

see above.

nope. They're ultra expensive thanks to many factors but suffice it to say the project went almost 2x over budget. At least I have the quality to look at and be happy with.

I already have ported heads and cams and a built bottom end and lots more... I wanted everything that I could wring from the 2v heads when I started the project. FWIW, Dyno runs on other 5.4 2v's set up like just mine but with longtubes have seen 50-70 hp over what my car made at its first dyno shakedown run with FRPP shorties.

We'll see how it turns out later this week in theory.

bottlefedbullitt01 · February 23rd, 2009, 02:16 PM

damn cuz, those are super lt headers! Nice

yojoe600 · February 23rd, 2009, 03:40 PM

wow thats a lil expensive i think... but those shorties sound nice

r3dn3ck · February 23rd, 2009, 05:32 PM

a lot expensive but you get what you pay for in theory. heheh

Just got back from TPS and they've got my shizzle on the lift now. <waits impatiently>

zigbigadoru · February 23rd, 2009, 07:31 PM

mustangmanic · February 23rd, 2009, 09:01 PM

Jesus Christ Al Freakin Mighty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $5000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
