    All unequal length shorty header performance equal?

    ^^^^ Thanks for the reply. I assumed performance would be virtually the same with the headers. You are right, quality and fitment are very different among the many manufactures. Mike

    All unequal length shorty header performance equal?

    I'm looking to purchase a set of un-equal length shorty headers and an X-pipe for my Mustang. Looking at design, each header from all manufactures appear the same, or very close to the same. Could I expect the performance of all shorty headers to be similar? Mike

    Lightest 4-lug 17 inch wheels?

    I would like to finally purhcase some 17 inch 4-lug wheels for my '86 sometime this summer. I know that there are many more choices if I was to perform the 5-lug swap, but I want to keep the 4-lugs. What are the lightest wheels that are still available for sale, for the fox-body? Mike

    I'm sure it is extremely simple to remove but, any ideas of how to remove the trip meter button? Pulling and twisting does not seem to release the button from the speedo. Mike
