I've helped my best friend put in a set of BBK 1 5/8" equal shorties in his 86 Capri without having to touch a motor mount. The only headers I've ever had to jack up the motor for were long tubes.

Dumb question, why do they call Equal Length shorties "Spaghetti Pipes?" or "Burn Pipes?"

Unequal shorties are the easiest to install and don't need to have the motor jacked up either. Of course they don't make as much power though
