Headers

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 10-06-2001, 05:11 PM

Hey guys i need a couple suggestions about headers. I know someone who is selling a set of never used chrome equal length JBA headers for $250. Is this a good price? I noticed that ti is a lot cheaper than thier usual price but i am still not sure. Also will they just bolt up to the factory exhuast pipes?

thanks

If you want some headers, I would recommend you buy BBK's. And get them jet-hot coated, it's well worth the extra money. $299 for the BBK shorties Jet-hot coated. Since your in high school, I would recommend getting gears before headers. 3:55's, 3:73's, 4:10's..... You can't really feel any real power gain just headers alone. The gears are the best bang for the buck, plus it'll give you a big seat of the pants difference.

I would say get Un-equal length, not much power more power diff and you save some $$ http://www.macperformance.com/macsto...stangshort.asp But it is up too you I would say 1 5/8 would be good for the gt-40p heads.
