I spend way too much time on this darned computer, but it's raining and this is a good day to talk about headers and see what you think. I found these on Ebay, I love Ebay(sometimes). I don't know where else look for headers, but these seemed to be a fair price. I just don't know which is better; ceramic or stainless?
thanks,

I hope one day to be able to share my knowledge with someone. I forgot to ask, will the shorties be Ok with stock linkage type power steering? And when I purchase my exhaust system for my mustang, do I just take it to a muffler shop, or is there a system that I can buy that will bolt up to the shorties? :show
 
Dne,

The good thing about shorties is they'll fit just about anything imaginable. I doubt you'd have any clearance issues whatsoever.

I believe you'd find that the SS headers will eventually tarnish over time.

I'm using these Ford Racing Shorties that are Ceramic Coated and they look as good as new.

Since the collector flange for the shorty header is not in the same spot as the factory exhaust manifold, the usual way to get pipes on there is to bring the car to an exhaust shop and have them make you a set of custom 2.25/2.5" exhaust pipes. Have them build in either an "X" or "H" while doing so.
