If it lists for a cobra, then absolutely not. Check my thread on Cobra LT's, you see.
Besides, isn't $890 bucks the normal S.W. price will little online searching for a Marauder anyways?

I don't think it'd be worth fighting headers that aren't designed specifically for the MM when ones that are designed for the car are barely more expensive.

These might work. What do you guys think?

I think they'd need to be modified to fit in a MM, prolly have some clearance issues. Keep in mind that the Cobra and MM share a similar engine, but the engine bays and component locations are different.

Man if they would fit with little modification I would have these in my car by the end of the week.
But justbob has spoken....
But seriously, I can't believe that price! I wonder why so cheap? Crappy fit, crappy finish, Chinese made?

Could be just my 03-04 cobra MAC LT's? Maybe not? Maybe I should buy some of these and be a ginny yet again. :D Hell, I'm all set up now. ;)
My passenger side fit but headed right for the trans and made hook up "maybe doable" but definately a high heat issue. Driver side primary 1 ran dead center of the steering shaft and primary 2 hit the frame as well as heading for the trans. I rerouted primaries 1 & 2 up high. 2. Went between 3 & 4 and down and 1 went almost parallel with 4 IIRC. Then both collectors had to be super heated in the vise with two torches and moved out almost two inches and up an 1". If I did it again, I would go up even more as there is plenty of vacancy to be had.
I was looking into the pacesetters myself, but mine came ceramic coated for $450 and got better reviews from other forums. I read the pacesetters are notorious for cracked welds. My gamble didn't pay off and it was either work with what I had or lose my butt on them as I had a million scratchs from trying to get the drivers side in. I could do it all over again in one day now that I know what has to be done. Would I fab a set for a member? NOPE. You couldn't afford me.:cool:

Thanks for the info. Cracked welds? I don't need that. I guess I now see why they are so cheap...lol

Thanks for all the great feedback..What's the bottom line here.Which headers are made for the Marauder 1 which are the most reasonably priced 2 which require the least amount of mod work 3....I was looking and the SW's are looking good,however,they say you must buy and ofcourse use their X pipe.Which is an extra 600+dollars... So,which are the cheapest,best,easiest to install???bugsy :help:

PM 03mmmonroe, IIRC, he's got SW headers on his car, and I think he has a fabbed set up from the collectors on back.
FWIW, anything you get for an exhaust system mod isn't going to be cheap, I'd budget at least $1,500 for headers, installation, mid-pipe fabrication, etc.
