Looks like some SW headers will be in my future after my 5.1L build is done.

That is one sweat system I am going to have to start saying my pennies, I want one!

You WILL like these, ask me how I know! :D

It's definitely on the list as I work towards an Eaton swap...

Of course I will like them and the power bump I will get but OMG the noise the car will make is going to be ridiculous.

I'm geting used to it. Only issue I have is with a very pronounced drone at around 1,500 rpm, but other than that, not bad. Not really too bad at crusiing speed.

2 questions, what do they cost and do they make teh car real throaty, loud or does that all depend on what you do at the muffler stage?

A full SW exhaust (header plus MAUCAT) is gonna be north of $2,000, but well worth it, IMO.

X pipes tend to get raspy under hard acceleration, but definitely a nice rumber at idle and cruise with the SW mufflers.

[Guittard22]

They make them in black lol ?

I know you can get them ceramic coated, may want to check with SW to see what colors are available.

Hey there SC Cheesefondue :wave:

I may go that route.

[StainlessWorks]

Check out this video, I drove this exact car for the video shoot, the sound was crisp and I didn't recall any drone. To me drone is something that is obnoxiously annoying ear deafening and car shaking bass, IMO the car doesn't have this. Honestly this car and all other Ford applications using a similar engine design have a hummm around 2000 rpm, this is very normal. Same thing in the Coyote 5.0, GT-500, Raptor, F-150 etc.. basically its the overhead cam design these engines use. I wouldn't say its drone, but then again everybody has a different ear.

I sent you a pm and email did you get it !? About black out sw ?

[Raleigh Marauder]

Any chance that we'll see a group buy for headers again...?

[DS650]

I want a set but cash is in low supply right now.:alone:

Group Buy in JUly!!! :banana:

Yeah baby! :bows:

Hoo Hoo!!! :D

[Mike M]

I'm geting used to it. Only issue I have is with a very pronounced drone at around 1,500 rpm, but other than that, not bad. Not really too bad at crusiing speed.
That is why I still use the stock exhaust manifolds. I know I am missing close to 50hp with them but I want this car to stay on the quieter side.
I might consider getting SW headers and have them hook up to my stock system (my rear cats are gone) and wonder how much HP they will make with a stock system and how much louder it will be.

Group buy sounds good to me.

Kooks has free shipping I see $875.00

[burt ragio]

Mike you get what you pay for SW Rocks ! Ask any member who installed dynoed or compared overall quality. As for DB that is in the muffler choice. Mine make less niose than stock.

Are you saying your car got quieter with SW headers?

[03mmmonroe]

Of course I will like them and the power bump I will get but OMG the noise the car will make is going to be ridiculous.

I have the SW header and cat and the noise is not much loader then stock. I have 3MF mufflers and stock res.

[Mike M]

What are "3MF mufflers"?

I would be keeping my stock exhaust system.

[MOTOWN]

Magnaflow mufflers

Magnaflow mufflers


Yup. Russ has a custom fabbed set up with a baffled "H" pipe muffler (very similar to a Mac Pro-Chamber) with Magnaflows out back. Nice package.

You may want to rethink at least part of your set up, the four cats and the small OEM H pipe are going restrict exhaust flow. If you want to keep your OEM mufflers and resonated tips, that'll keep everything quiet, but go with a pair of high flow cats and a larger diameter X or H pipe.

[Mike M]

My rear cats are gone already.

I'll see if they get a group buy going.

[MyBlackBeasts]

No see...

Hoping to spark one.

I am going to be ordering my SW headers in July & it would be nice if we cound get a group buy going!!! :bows:

Anyone interested?

Paul, you out there? :eek:

Hellooooooooooooooooooooo...

Long tubes = more power over shorties.

$875 is almost the same price as the SW.

Headers don't = more noise, the muffler selection give you the noise. You can have headers & grandpa muffs which = hardly any more noise than factory Lincoln.

Kooks are mid-length headers
SW are full/long tube headers

Adding either to the factory exhaust on a marauder will make more noise but not much more.

Being close to the same price, SW headers are the wise choice plus most owners say SW headers are easier to install compared to owners that had Kooks installed.

When I did the Crower cams, my drone went away, no bull, I couldn't believe it either.

Ok, who remembers the picture used in this forum a while back with "The Worlds Most Interesting Man" and a statement saying something like "I don't like taking out my starter in two pieces to install my headers, but when I do I choose......"

Any body remember this?

How about a group buy on the Marauder catted Exhaust system?

How about just a plain SW group buy.

I'm looking to buy headers only in July, part of a GB would be cool!

[ARodmarauder]

How hard is it to change out these headers? I would be interested in a set depending on how difficult the install is

I'm thinking about 3 1/2 - 4 hours of work, PM 03mmmonroe, he can give you a better estimate of time and effort.

[Raleigh Marauder]

I would be in for headers.

[justbob]

If the price is right I may be down for a whole set up.

Have these been tweaked yet to clear the steering shaft better?

[Mustang man]

What it is the potential hp / tq gain for us boring people with essentially stock cars ?

[SC Cheesehead]

What it is the potential hp / tq gain for us boring people with essentially stock cars ?

Prolly around 25 hp, 15-20 trq. They're a nice addition, but there are other mods that will give you more bang for the buck.

If you're completely stock, get a performance tune and put in a set of4.10 gears, those two mods will really wake up the car.

[Mustang man]

Currently have a jlt cai and Zach tune, that's it. Would love to do the 4.10's but she's my daily driver. Chicago winters aren't real forgiving for rwd v8's with 4.10's.

[loud2004marquis]

What it is the potential hp / tq gain for us boring people with essentially stock cars ?

I gained 30hp/28tq. with stainless works headers and their full catted exhaust. Besides that, I have a k&n cai and 4:10s

[Dre1842]

Soooooo, when will this group buy start? Cost?

What mufflers are you using?

[loud2004marquis]

What mufflers are you using?

Stainless works "turbo-chambered" mufflers. They are the more quiet mufflers they offer.
