Help With Headers

andres0286 · March 29th, 2008, 10:00 PM

With the setup Im doing everybody has told me to go with LT headers. I already plan to buy a prochamber o/r h pipe with the magnaflow magnapack catback.

My question is: Can I go with shorty headers? The thing is that here were I live there are huge speedbumps and they already affect me so imagine with the LTs. What hp diference is there between Shorty and LTs? Let me know

you'll make more power with the LT's. and it's a pain in the ass to install them, so for the amount of trouble you will go through to install the headers, you may as well install headers that will let you gain the most power IMO...
i have a set of Mac's going on...

The prochamber drags before the headers do. I wouldn't waste my time on shorties.

The thing is that I have to pass about 4 big ass speed bumps to get to my house, thats 4 coming in and 4 to go out. I have a the steeda sportline springs installed. Its going to be a pain in the ass. I have a friend that has LTs and every time he comes to my house I can hear the metal screaching.

So with that said, about how much diference is there between LTs and Shorties

What do you mean it drags?

HMUSN · March 29th, 2008, 10:45 PM

power is the difference.

it's worth the price and power of the LT's for a few under body scratches.

The box on the prochamber will hit the bumps before the headers will.

Ohh ok, do you know anywhere I can get them cheap? Does the brand make a difference?

Doc8224 · March 29th, 2008, 10:54 PM

Mac LT's are about $320 from Lethalperformance.com and Brenspeed.com. Or Ebay if you wanna save a little. There are other ones but they only get higher. I am personaly going with MAC LT's on my Mach.

OK, I just hope I dont regret it. What HP diference is there between LTs and Shorties

Doc8224 · March 29th, 2008, 11:02 PM

Quite a bit on the top end especialy. I haven't heard of anyone in a bolt on mustang regret the power of their LT's I have seen lots of shorties come off for LT's

I installed the com cams xtreme energy stage II 270s on my car, do you know were they give the most output at low or high rpm?

jrobinsonchicago · March 29th, 2008, 11:19 PM

I was wondering the same thing.

Does a dent in one header to clear the steering column affect the performance?

andres0286 · March 30th, 2008, 12:28 AM

Are these any good?

the BBK's have a crimp like that on the driver's side header to clear the steering shaft. i personally wouldn't go with something that will obstruct air flow, regardless of how small it is. the Mac's don't have that crimp and still clear the steering column...

Weld up some skid plates.

andres0286 · March 30th, 2008, 01:51 PM

I found some MAC LTs for 325 shipped to me. Is this good

00vabchgt · March 30th, 2008, 01:53 PM

are they ceramic coated?

SWEET2KSTANG · March 30th, 2008, 01:53 PM

i was looking into pacesetters for mine, but heard a lot of fitment issues on the 4.6. give me a minute and i will up load a pic of my mac lt's, prochamber and cat back, to give you an idea how it will sit underneath. i have frpp c-springs, qa1 k-member (dropped it another 1/2in or so), and stock height tires.
