I want to order headers for my 94 Cobra and I wanna make sure I get the right ones. Equal length headers are better than unequal length headers, correct? I know longtubes are the best but I just had an o/r H pipe installed that is only for shorty headers.

And if I get the "94-95 5.0L" shorty equal length headers off of summit or 50resto will they fit on my Cobra engine? I don't think the headers are different between the cobra and the GT but i just want to make sure.

Thanks

If you are not gonna go for LT's

I'd not waste my time on equal length shorty headers.

Just do the regular shorties.

Yep. Equals are tougher to install .... and there's not enough gain over unequals to justify it. Get the unequals if you go with shorties.

And yes .... if it fits a GT, it fits a Cobra.

i just asked that same question to the mustang shop near our house. He basically said the best fitting and easiest to install were the motorsport headers. Not sure how much more or less hp diffrence there is between them and the other brands are, but i like my stuff to fit like oem.

I did see Craig post the phrase I just had an o/r H pipe installed that is only for shorty headers

If he was doing the work and not paying for labor ............

I would have told him to sell the shorty mid pipe and do the LT thing.

YES... They make that much of a difference
