    You have to turn it off in the tune. If you have emissions testing you may not be able to delete it.

    An Option!

    Remember shorties are only an option for less then a complete LT system. They are not the final answer for a NA car. If you have $2,000 then LTs will give you more HP then Shorties - go for it!

    IMO LTs are overrated, but on NA you will get higher HP at a higher cost. LTs are also noiser, but some do not mind. Many people like to just say they got "LT headers" - a status thing.

    On a SC car shorties are fine up to 450 HP then LTs take over. The bottom line is what makes your car go faster and what you want. But, it is surprising how many high powered SC 4V 4.6 Mustangs do not run LTs.

    Those are nice. Do yourself a big favor and reuse the OEM gaskets.

    Again Glen whats surprising is how hard it is to install long tubes on a Mustang. Could that have anything to do with why 4V mustangs don't have them??

    Kooks has a set for a Marauder for $889.94
    Stainless works has a set for a Marauder for $989.69
