Title: GT40 **P** Headers
Post by: ZondaC12 on August 18, 2010, 11:42:13 PM
The apparently cheap knockoff ones on the silver cat are junk so I need a solid set. New, used, whatever, as long as nothing is bent out of shape or cracked or leaking in any way. Can't drive the thing anymore having to listen to that lol. :wtf:

BBK unequal length shorty headers can be found really cheap,and work great. They are what I have on the Sport.

Holy ! No kiddin'. Now are those 1-5/8"? That's what this thing has. It's a setup a lot like yours I suppose? It's a "full cobra motor" with an E303 and 1.7 RR's. Do you still not *need* that size headers? Naturally I dont wanna buy something that's going to choke it off and lose me power. The thing scoots compared to the red one, now that's sayin' something LOL.

Mine are 1 5/8 headers. They work great with my ported heads and the rest. I have 1.6 roller rockers for now. 1.7's soon. I have the Stage 1 cam as well.They work great with 90 degree boots on the P heads.

Good question.I'd think inside diameter....but can't say for sure.Pull one of yours off and measure.I'm sure they are also 1 5/8.

Stock Mustang 302 HO are like 1.4" inside diameter when measured I believe. They're supposed to be 1.5". Either way, people don't normally notice a difference at the track.
