Which Is Better?

mustangs4life · July 21st, 2011, 05:34 PM

When i get some more money i would like to buy some headers. I have a feeling that these ones are better because they have air injection.

These ones through AM are cheaper but do not have the air injection. I am just wondering if the ones with air injection are really better and if so are they worth the extra to buy them? Does anybody have experience with either of these?

Air injection is just for emissions which you don't have to worry about at all in Iowa. And I say save your money and don't buy either of those. Your exhaust manifolds are basically shorty headers and you will see no gains besides a little chrome in the engine bay (not much though because they're hard to see). If you want to upgrade headers, go with long tube headers.

It is most defintley not worth it.

Do BBK the coted ones if u can find them but if u want the JBA i fond thos lowes priice i could findFord Mustang Grills Dont pay att to haw it say grills tha was how i have it in my PC. But thay are worth it if u wanna stay short tube if u go long tube and your auto go Mac best set.

alright thanks for the advice...i just want something that gives me a little bit deper sound and some more hp. Im not really sure where to go next? can anyone point me in the right direction? maybe a tuner? I'm gonna be running subs and a frickin light show pretty soon so idk if upd will be a good idea but i will probably try it.

If you've got an auto, a tuner would be nice. Otherwise underdrive pulleys are cheap for your year Mustang. Long tube headers, shorty h pipe, mufflers of your choice would help get a real nice sound. You could look into a cam (talk to ESG) and that can net you some decent power and sound although it's a bit pricey if you can't do the install yourself).

You could also look into doing a split port swap since you have a single port engine (basically using a number of parts from a 99-04 V6). There's a list of everything you need in one of the stickies at the top of the forum. You'll get some good gains from that.

(MAC)Long tubes,Pro cahmber and Muff of your choice i like the SLP LM2 but with long tubes u can do MAC also. I had long tubs pro H and mac muff it sound so sick on a 2003 V6. That was my car when i turned 16 got my gt at 18.

Did you ever hear the video of 6er's car with stock manifolds, MAC prochamber, and no mufflers? It sounded awesome and I imagine adding LTs would be amazing

manson243 · July 21st, 2011, 07:37 PM

No but i bet i did sound good my 6 sound so sweet. Its a good setup cuz the chamber muff and pro chamber keeps some back pressure so u dont lose all your streetble driving. When i frist did my setup it was an off road X and LM1 so loud but very raspy LM2 are better with pro chamber its nice and deep but the MAC chamber muffs are the best. Its deep and loud but is nice at idle and so sexy when u jump on it. All in all if u wanna stay short tubes JBA are nice just do Pro chamber and LM2 or MAC muff Flowmaster single chamers aro also nice but sound kinda raspy at 3k-around 4k if auto bout 5k on stick. I had auto so i know from exp.

Long tubes. Don't waste your money on those unless you are planning to make turbo headers from them.

A friend of mine says he actually measure them out, and the inside of the aftermarket shorties is a hair larger then the stockers ... pointless. Worry about your midpipe or get long tubes ...
