Hey i am new to this site but i have heard great things. So here it goes i got a 03 stang Gt going to put headers on I recently was told by numerous people that long tube gives the best performance. I was looking at the bbk long tube ceramic. MAC or any others but bbk was what everyone was recommending to me. i got a garage that will do a custom x pipe with cats and a custom catback with flowmaster 40s for 750 is this a good combo to make the best hp and torque gains? Any input is welcomed

WELCOME!

Doest the price include the LT's?

The catted X with Flows should be good, although I prefer Magnaflow. I have BBK LT and I like them. Probably not the "best" flowing according to some, but hey, at the end is only a minimal difference when you compare pricing. Have you done any other mods? You should look into other mods to better the performance on the exhaust, like Intake, TB/Plenum.

no this is the first step in many more modds to come the price does not include the tubes or anything he will only do from the header back any reports on what the best flowing headers are. Are the shorties really better for the car every tech i talked to said more power out of the longtubes and better sound. total exhaust cost is gona run aroun 1800 including labor and parts most of which is the header. No space to do it in


Future modds include a k&N cold air and bigger plenum maybe a typoon intake and more.... Tune and suspension but pro 5.0 or steeda tri axi


Way future procharger or paxton

Ok, I've never come out so detailed in here, but if I was to do everything over, this is how I'd do it.

Since you have plans for the future with a blower, this is what I would do...

First, start by doing a tune up. I mean, clean the engine bay area, oil change, radiator flush, check your thermostat and level all fluids. Change your plugs to a colder range, use copper.

Next, CAI TB and Plenum. At this point, you're giving more air to the motor, so now you need to free up some back flow.... Mufflers. I would go with magnaflow because they flow better, period. Next would be the mid pipe, your choice. X or H will give you 5-8 HP and will help you later with your blower set up. I would really wait on the LT's. They won't be of any use other than sound unless you really force some air into that engine, and before you do that, you might want to free up those heads and drop some cams. Really, don't get scared by the price or the sound of it, the most restrictive part in our modulars is... The Heads. Heads alone can free up some 20-40 HP, sometimes even more.

At some point you'll want to upgrade your fuel pump and injectors. Someone else here will tell you what's the best set up for that. You could get a SVT Focus pump and upgrade to 32 or 42lb injectors (which will come with your supercharger).

Bottom line, save the money and don't waste it now on Headers. And yes, got with the Long ones when you do.
