headers? Reply #15 – June 08, 2014, 09:14:21 PM oh wow, I think I opened up a debate here.. lol every one has put out some great info on this on, but in my case im running a pretty much stock 5.0 so im not to concerned over a couple HP loss or gain. I just want something functional at this point. short,long, oem,aftermarket.... I don't care. I just want my bird up and running. you guys are awesome, thanks for the input. Quote Selected

headers? Reply #17 – June 08, 2014, 10:28:16 PM I've been thinking a lot about headers. i've found a loop hole that would allow my cougar to be emissions exempt and be able to delete the cats. eventually i plan on 1 5/8" primary long tube headers with a 3" collector.as far as the tbird goes, as long as ford is around, it will be required to pass emissions. i want the car to have a bit more power, but still look factory. not like a junkyard swapped or high hp ride to not arise any type of suspision while I'm getting the.car smog tested. i think shiny new chrome headers would flag methat's why id prefer the stock shorties you can get for cheap or free over aftermarket ones.long story short, your car, your cash. go crazy if you want to. we all know what we want.
