exhaust installation

Mustang_Girl_32 · January 22nd, 2011, 04:16 PM

Ok so all the pieces to the exhaust are finally here.
mac longtube headers
mac prochamber
borla stinger muffler

now the question i have is what all do i need besides the header gaskets. they did not come with o2 sensor extensions. if i need them can i find them at local auto store.

Thanks for the help in advance

Use the stock gaskets. They are typically better than what they send in the packaging. O2 extensions can be bought on American Muscle. I've never seen extensions at local auto stores, personally. If you have any skill with wiring you can just extend them yourself with solder, shrink tube, electrical tape, and extra wire.

I would suggest using locking header bolts and geniune Ford gaskets for the headers.

As far as the O2 extensions, I doubt you'll find them at a local autoparts, but it's pretty easy to just lengthen your current wires for your O2 sensors.

edit: I was beat to the punch.....

when i was installing my OR-H pipe i though that my o2 wireing was going to be short as well but it actually worked out fine. there is usually about 2 inches or so of slack that can be accessed by getting the clips unhoked from the underside, once everything is hooked up i ziptied it back to body and it work fine.

that doesn't work with longtubes

^ didnt know that, then your next solution is either AM or Splice and sauter

like Bullitt5339 said, get some locking header bolts. you will be happy you did. I like to use copper exhaust gaskets but stock replacements work fine also

I was able to find some gaskets at autozone. Since my brother is going to start it monday, I'm just going to have to figure out what to do about the extensions and the back o2 sensors. I'm probaby going to have to order everything and get it over nighted, or just go with the service engine soon light.

F8L GT · January 22nd, 2011, 07:55 PM

the back o2 sensors you can just live with the light but make sure the fronts are plugged in

Mustang_Girl_32 · January 22nd, 2011, 09:11 PM

im gonna get the o2 sensor extensions but is there anything I can do so that the light wont come on without getting the mil eliminators in the back? Or without spending much money?

F8L GT · January 22nd, 2011, 09:14 PM

plug them in and see if the light will stay out. I never had a problem with the light when I had my o/r mid

Mustang_Girl_32 · January 22nd, 2011, 09:16 PM

ok i guess if it doesn't, then ill just have to get them.
