headers and mid pipe
as you all know choosing what exhaust set up you want is one of the most difficult choices in life! recently i purchased the Borla Stinget cat back system for my 2001 GT auto and had my mind set on BBK LT headers and catted shorty x pipe until i realized the headers were for only manual transmittions, now im back at square one with choosing which headers i want! Does anyone have any suggestions on what header and midpipes i should get to go with my Borla Stingers?
|
I believe Hookers and Macs fit. You can also see if Kooks fits also.
|
Kooks or American Racing Headers
|
do you like your stingers? i am looking at those.
|
i dont know i havent intstalled them yet im in iraq right now and wont be home for another month im just tryin to get all of the parts together for when i get home! but from what i hear there really good ive listened to alot of clips and talked to alot of people and they all say they like them
|
you'll like the stingers.
if i were you, i would get some bassani mid length headers and the bassani x-pipe. |
Get bassani mid length's and the bassani o/r x pipe. I have that set up on my blown GT and it's an auto but with the slp power flow catback. It sounds mean!
|
thats what i was thinking either bassani or slp i just looked on bassani's website and dont see anything for automatics where did you get them from? i was talking to one of the reps from BBK and he said they are workin on coming out with some headers for automatics in a few monts but didnt say exactly how long
|
ok i just emailed bassani's tech support and they said they dont have anything for 99-04 automatics...?
|
They will. I have them on my car. My shop I get all my work done had to cut a flange that was in the way or something, but they bolted right up.
|
hmmm i dont know if i wanna go cuttin things! lol thanks for the advice i think ill wait until i can find something for autos though i appreciate it!
|
MAC Longtubes and VRS O/R X Pipe on my auto.
|
never heard of vrs
|
ok so i finally found headers that will work with my car, hooker LT ceramic coated, now i just need to decide what mid pipe i want, i was thinkin an off road x but i dont know what brand, does anyone have any suggestions?
my setup Hooker LT headers, Borla stinger cat back Steeda underdrive pulleys bbk CAI Hankook 245/45/17r for dress up i have biillet window switches, billet headlight knob, billet 8 in shorty antenna GT embroidered floormats ford racing coolant overflow and oil caps lazer engraved with GT black projector headlights w/ clear corners mach 1 chin spoiler American Flag mustang badge on front bumper tail lights smoked with the letters G in the left and T in the right so when i hit the breaks it says GT 5% tint on rear windows future mods H&R sport springs Tokico blue shocks and struts MM C/C plates paint chin spoiler and mirrors silver to match car stripes 35% front window tint and 8 in brow ive also replaced the ball joints, radiator and rear axel seals but they were all OE |
If you want Hooker headers, you have to use their mid-pipe. Also, as a suggestion, get some ball-and-socket collectors from Flowmaster since slip-on collectors leak. You don't have to but it makes taking the mid pipe off easier and eliminates most the leaks that the Hookers are known for.
|
i got mac lt's on my auto gt, i installed them in two days in my garage and they fit like a glove :)
|
Anyone getting documanted resulys from the LT's? Those Hooker coated nheaders are very expensive, $900. I saw a pair go on ebay for a bit over $300. though recently. I am running a PYPES catted X-pipe and stock catback due to DRONE I could not stand and after I read that a catback adds 3-4whp, like what a waste of cash!
|
If you think $900 are expensive, just look at the price of SLP and Kooks headers.
|
i ended up goin with the hooker headers and off road x thanks for everones input ill try and post results when i get them installed but that will be another month or so when i get home!
|
ive got hooker LT's and am very pleased with them. plus you dont have to remove them if you have to take out the tranny. i didnt get a dyno before installation, but afterwards i was pleased with the power numbers
|
what kind of numbers did you get?

with the mods in sig, i made 314rwhp and 347rwtq, but im a 4v
|
With headers mid pipe and tune you should pick up around 25-30rwhp
|
