So I pulled these off to have them coated and was wondering if anybody knew what brand these were. I'd also like to know if a new set of headers would bolt right up to the H-pipe, or if the exhaust was custom made to fit these headers.

Would you guys recommend a certain brand?







Let me know what you guys think...

Thanks!!!

Not sure of the brand but any set of shorty headers will bolt right up to your H-pipe. The ones you have are known as equal length.

Not sure if it was any help.

I don't know what brand they are, but they look like ordinary equal length headers. Just about any shorty header for a fox body should bolt up fine.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

Why waste your money coating them? They are only going to look as bad as they do now in a year or so. Those headers are going to perform the same un coated or coated. If you really don't like the way they look, sand blast them and hit them w/ some high temp black header paint. You'll have to do this a few times a year but is much cheaper than coating that won't last anyway!

It's not so much the look I'm after, it's the fact that the speedo cable and clutch cable sit RIGHT beside the header on the driver side, and I can't reposition them in any way. I was hoping that by coating them it would keep some of the heat away.

As it is now I can see that there is very early signs of heat wear on the outside of the speedo cable.

They look like BBK's, and yes the uncoated one contribute a LOT to underhood temps as I have the same headers.

Looking to snag a set of FMS ceramic cheap somewhere

I'm positive there's a thread out there with this answer, but what's the advantage of equal length compared to unequal length headers? Will the sound change when I switch from equal to enequal length?

Absolutely none. All they do is create clearance issues.
