Headers that will fit my Bassani x-pipe ?

[GA_StangGT]

I've got a 4.6 2v car with an automatic that I'm interested in getting headers for. I have the Bassani BX catted X-pipe and would like to keep it. I need to know which headers will mate up to my current setup and not have clearance problems with the automatic transmission.


Thanks:SNSign:

get Mac longtubes and have your x pipe cut/modified to fit the headers.

I advise against the above. start over, sale the mid pipe for 100-200 bucks, and buy the complete system. If you kept the stock parts, all the better. Its a better investment to sale what you currently have(if possible), keep your stock parts, and upgrade. If you sale the car, and you have the stock parts to bolt back up if you have the mechanical skills to do so, then sale the aftermarket parts. If not, at least you sold your bassani mid pipe for something.

in short, no headers besides shorties, will fit you, and shorties are a waste

Im pretty sure bassani mid length headers fit right in.. but theyre pretty spendy (like 600+ bucks)

Your SOL trying to stay with Bassani with that BX(Aluminized) X pipe. Only the Bassani Stainless Steel X-pipes will work with the headers. The BX won't fit.

Interesting. A website I went to said they won't fit, and some guy in another thread also said his mid-lengths would'nt bolt up with his BX midpipe. I guess their wrong.

the mid length headers come with a short piece of pipe to connect to the x pipe

 

[SaleenGT2001]

the 2 short pieces of curved pipe are for the mid length headers. the 2 longer pieces are for stock manifolds


it has to be a modular x pipe to work

i wish it was that easy. i'm just waiting now. the engine is paid off and i have all the stuff i need to get it running. i'm just buying useless junk for the car now.
yesterday i bought a new set of saleen center caps, SS brake lines and a lunar N2O pressure gauge.


i really miss driving the car. the longer it sits the more stuff i want to buy for it. i dont think they make many parts that i dont already have on it. i have aguarentee that it will be running by Mustang Week. if it ends up not being ready by then i am going to ditch the s/c and go turbo. might as well have it down for another winter if it isnt rwady to get down to Myrtle Beach
