headers

i have a chance to get some ford motorsport headers/manifolds real cheap from a friend. he claims they perform great, has had no problems. well i've done some research and these particular manifolds were made for 97-98 stangs. can these be matched to an '03 gt?if so, any knowledge on how these perform?

they are a waste

they dont perform for **** and with the pain to install its better to go with the new bbk shortie headers or a long tube header

If you're going to with headers ... longtubes all the way.

Better investment ... $$$$ and time and effort.

not so true anymore

the new bbk headers(shortie) have been dyno proven to make good power

but if it was me I would still only go will longtubes

thats why they are on order now and I will be installing them in 2 weeks
