headers install
 

anybody know about how much it cost for a shop to install shorty headers? or how to myself basicly you just pull the motor im guessin or can you do it without pullin the motor? thanks

also would like to know if headers are worth the money for the sound and power they add? im lookin at the bbk shortys

I have BBK Shortys on my car there harder than u think u dont need to Pull the Motor
But goto the BBK web site and look at the directions http://www.bbkperformance.com/instal...structions.php
I just did my headers
u have to remove the starter, motor mount, h-pipe,
getting em out is the hard part i think
its up to you i thought it was a huge pain in the a$$
but it has a cool sound
got a bit more torq and HP

alright thanks man

Shorties just aren't worth. The amount of time you spend for just 5 hp just makes it worse. If you want headers, long tubes or nothing. As for install, the easiest way is either w/ the engine slightly lifted out or w/ the k-member dropped.

Ya true
i Would go with Long tubes if i did it again
but i would have had someone else do it
i found it to be a major pain but im proof that it can be done with the engine in the car

i just had bbk L.T. headers installed on my 08-4.6 ltr mustang. it sounds great, we dyno'ed it before and after, and i gained about 40 rwt & 20hsp. ONLY thing,, i dont really like is the raspy sound it makes when you put your foot in it, they say(installers) that sound is normal. they put my car on a lift and showed me where the that sound is coming from. Anybody else experiance that noise/sound also ?
