Well, yes, they are kinda crappy fitment wise, but they are basically the same as the hookers, which fit kinda crappy too. Spend the money on the ceramic coated ones, and when you install the slip fit, use muffler/exhaust cement to keep it from leaking, as all of them seem to do right there. They make great power, and a lot of people are using them with great results. Just dont expect slp or kooks quality and youll be ok with them.

MAC has about the same quality as flowtech as well. They may fit funny, but itll be alright once they are bolted up and in place.

I bought them here at mustang tuning and they were installed by "finish line" in parma, ohio the total cost of paint and installation was $800 but i also had them paint the louvers and instal them and the chin spoiler while they were at it

Why is there such a difference in price from company to company on headers, i mean there cannot be that big of a difference in performance or even that huge of a difference in sound all they are is tubing???

Brett, you have a really "sick" looking car. I mean "sick" in the good way! But, I think if you went with stock, tinted tail lights, you would really have yourself a looker.

Back to headers. Everyone has a budget. God knows I do. IMO opnion, I would save for good quality LT's unless there is a compelling reason to get them now (as in, your current headers are ruined or you are planning a major engine upgrade). Headers are a pain in the **** to install and why make more work for yourself by doing them twice? Good LT's such as SLP's are only about $200 more then crappy ones. Cheap shorties are a total waste of time, but at least the labor is so much easier to put them on and then take them off. If you just want headers now, you may want to consider that as an option.

Again, great looking car and good luck with it.
