Im new to the 05+ mustang world and have never really worked on one.. My cousin just bought a 06 roush not too long ago and asked me to install a pair of shortie headers on it.. I realize by looking under the hood that its not going to be quite as easy as my 87 gt.. Any tips or anything i should know about the install? What needs to come off (possibly steering stem) ?

thanks

Get her up on jack stands,remove the starter, remove the mid pipe.You'll have to remove the driver's side steering rack mounting bolt and loosen the passenger side bolt. Don't worry about the nut on top, it's welded. The steering shaft coupler can be removed after shifting the driver's side of the rack forward a bit. Remove the exhaust manifolds and studs. Put your headers on. With longtubes You have to loosen the driver's side motor mount and jack the engine up some, but I don't know about your shorties. You can use the suppied gaskets and bolts or reuse the stock gaskets.
