short tube headers

jt2007 · August 19th, 2006, 01:22 AM

So i already have V6 magnaflow exhaust, and i dont really wanna cut that, so i was wondering if i got short tube headers, and just replaced my cats w hi flow cats, if that would do much for my car, since i cant do longtubes w/out making my own y pipe
thanks for the help

ditch the shorties grab some long tubes, make a custum H pipe, and then cut the v6 catback to bolt to custom H and call it a day

jt2007 · August 19th, 2006, 01:29 AM

how much hp would you be talking w the longtubes and a custom h pipe?

00SoSlow · August 19th, 2006, 01:30 AM

i don't know HP gains but with the long tubes over shorties u get a noticable 25% better flow from them... its the best thing if u don't have emmisions, the H pipe will allow it to flow better instead of having both sides meet in one spot then split again

alright, is it really loud? cuz idk what emissions are in nebraska but i think its pretty strict, and also what would that cost for the MAC long tubes, and the custom h pipe if i took it somewhere to do it?

idk the long tubes are 318 for ceramic coated from www.rpm-mustangs.com

id check with ur emmisions people first

the local muffler shot could do it just go and see what they would peice it out at

well seeing that magnaflow mufflers are lower sounding, no its not loud but at WOT it is loud but not the v8 sound

jt2007 · August 19th, 2006, 01:49 AM

alright, ill go check it out, how much do asp pullies help? better off the line or what?

00SoSlow · August 19th, 2006, 01:59 AM

not really an hp gains... they just help the crank to reduce power drag

jt2007 · August 19th, 2006, 02:07 AM

should i do exhuast next? i have a bbk cold air and throttle body now, or should i look into 4.10's first?

00SoSlow · August 19th, 2006, 02:10 AM

full exhaust is about 800-1000 depending what u do, and if u do it urself. id say go gears, i wish i did gears first and a tune.... o yea almost forgot u would need the sct xcal2 tuner which vmp tuning one of our vendors sells for 399 shipped with 3 tunes, u need this to change ur ecu to the right gear size and u can change other things with this to tune it better

jt2007 · August 19th, 2006, 02:18 AM

what will gears get me for times? like 0-60 and 1/4 mile and so on?

00SoSlow · August 19th, 2006, 02:24 AM
