Anyone heard of Patriot headers? I was looking for headers online and they have some or $160


Would some shorty or intermediate FOX body headers work? they got millions of options for those things.

Personally, shortys are better for short tube headers, but if you want to race and you really want torque get some tri-y headers.

Fox body headers won't fit though.

Wha?

BTW, Patriot is sold by the same people who make Pertronix.

I've got a set of Patriot Tri-Y's on my '68 and love 'em. They fit better than any headers I've ever installed, and even though the intstructions claim that the left side needs modification if installed on a '67-'70 Mustang, mine needed nothing but the power steering drop and they do not hang any lower than the frame rail.

I looked at them on summit and it said the primaries are 1.5-1.75"? so they're 1.5" at the port and 1.75" when merged? Isn't 1.5" too small? My buddy put 1+5/8" shorties on his '88GT. thanks :SNSign:

I ordered them from www.summitracing.com I would usualy get things like that local from www.pawinc.com but I don't think they carry Patriots yet, really I didn't check specificly for them but whatever too late now. ceramic coated are $298.90. I've been to P.A.W a few times and no ceramic coated headers they had came close to that price.

p.s.
I'll give you an install update when I get them on
