shorty header options

[Got_1]

What options do we have for shorty headers?

From what i've read FRPP doesn't list one for us anymore (dohc324 took the last one IIRC:censor: :D)

I just searched Summit and nothing somes up for 4v 4.6's. i don't want cobra manifolds, i want nice shiney headers!

Buy Longtubes

If you can find FRPP's they work
JBA's are my choice.

[Got_1]

trust me, I would LOVE longtubes but thats not in the budget.

shhh shorties make more power :P

Take a long hard look at the flange opening of a JBA header compared to the opening of the cylinder head then tell me if you still want them.

i don't see anything obiously wrong in the pic of the JBA's but i also don't have a cylinder head handy to compare to so what are the differences you speak of?

[Got_1]

[skyhigh]

PM musclemerc and have him track down a set for you.

I bought a set he found on line, guy's a real sleuth!

[fastblackmerc]

There are a bunch on eBay right now.

Don't forget motor mount shims, custom new downpipes, new cats, new O2 sensors. I think it's a big job.

[musclemerc]

I did'nt need new O2's, the downpipes are easy from a 99~2004 mustang that are good and plentiful. If you can turn a wrench you can do a shorty install. You forgot the EGR adapter Eric. ;)

I elect Musclemerc for the official "shorty headers info guru"

keep an eye out for me if you don't mind. i'm ready to pull the trigger on a set if i can find them for a reasonable price. Ebay has JBA's listed at 699.00 and thats the cheapest. can't even find FRPP's on ebay.

[Jolly Roger]

Got mine used here.

does anyone know if the 2v and 4v down pipes are the same? I only want to hack out the cats and install 2 highflows in place....don't wanna spend lots of dough.

[musclemerc]

As long as it's a 99~04 Mustang. All will fit.

[Got_1]

good to hear, thanks man!

[bigmerc'03]

everybody cant afford longtube money or thats what we would have gone with and cobra or JBA shortys will do just fine

[MercOut]

Sorry to jack your thread, but will these work on the MM?

what do you think of this BBK catted X-pipe. $280. guy said he's firm but its local so i can save on shipping costs.

i found a set on a local forum for $300CAD. only 500kms on them. I think i'm going that route. i don't feel like a bidding war nor do i want to get ***** with border fee's.

appreciate the heads up tho!:beer:
