They cost a lot, install is a huge PIA, so why bother getting them? Ha!!! How about cutting nearly two tenths off your 1320 time and sounding like fire breathing dragon!!!

with pypes LTs and catted H pipe 3 runs.

13.22 @ 105.64 mph sixty foot 2.15
13.33 @ 104.70 sixty foot 2.15
13.30 @ 104.67 sixty foot 2.14

last month no headers similar air temps...(within a few degrees)

13.40 @ 104.20 sixty foot 2.17
13.51 @ 103.00 sixty foot 2.15
13.62 @ 101.95 sixty foot 2.15


Car sounds like a beast, got lots of complements. After the install I thought it might be too loud..........ah, dont think that anymore.

Great mod, glad I did it. Glad I had two buddies willing to help with the install too! LOL

Nice, Patrick! Good to see those numbers coming from the LT's! I desperately need LT's behind my supercharger, as the factory manifolds really cork it up. Just waiting to save up the cash for LT's, but can't wait. In the mean time, I'll just have to be happy hearing stories like yours!

Thanks Brian. There was a guy with a new SS Camaro with cai, headers, hf cats, and corsa exhaust. Ran a 13.17 at 111 mph with a 2.28 sixty foot. He just had the headers installed and after hearing my car he was bumming. His sounds very raspy and kinda tinty. No deep rumble. Mine is just the opposite, deep with a low heavy rumble. He was hoping for my tone. You gotta love the mustang sound. I still cant understand how such a small engine can have such a big tone!

On my third race I dialed in a 13.30 and ran it exactly. Too bad my reaction time sucked .76 and got eliminated by .07!! Ah bracket racing.....so much fun and heartbreak! LOL


Hopefully the cam upgrade wont kill that consistancy. How come we cant be happy with what we have and therefore keep bolting on more gofast? LOL

You know what they say in bracket racing "The race is won or lost at the tree"

Those are very respectable numbers!! Thats awesome that your car sounds exactly the way you wanted it to, oh and yeah, didnt hurt that you cut 2 tenths off your 1320

Good for you Patrick
