thats why!!!!! THERE FLO TECH crapola !!!!! The ford headers are awsome, i have a set of bassani's equal lenth that are jet hot coated i will sell you. To stop the leaking flow's i got a set or spector gaskets that were extra thick and that stoped the leak as well as going with lock tight on the bolts. send me a P.M with your email and i can give you a picture of the bassani's and the picture of the gasket package along with the part number i would post it here but i cant figure out how to do so now that i switched internet carriers. peace

The car was tricking me. I had the h-pipe welded today to find out most of the noise came from that!

My flow-tech's are showing their age, I have a small pen hole by one of the collectors, and the welds around the primary tubes are not so even and gives alttle leakage there as well...

Next set will either be bbk's or bassani. prob. long tubes.

Trust me i've had flow tech's and there junk!!!!!!! I now have bassani equal lenths and there awsome. In my beleif i would have my choices in this order of headers 1:Bassani coated and maybe L/T's 2: JBA's coated 3:MAC coated and as well maybe L/T's. Over my mods on my 95 i've found out that you get what you pay for. BBK dont even run there own products on there race car????? So go figure on them, atleast thats what i've heard?????? peace

I was just wondering whether someone could help me out with something. I own a 2004 v6 convertible stang, and want a louder sound. i do not realy care too much about hp at this time--okay maybe i'm lying. still, i really just want pump the sound of my car for a small price. i am sick of these guys with honda civics roaring past me on the st. i want my mustang to roar back. your comments would really help. thanks!

I would take bbk anyday over MAC...IMHO MAC sucks balls, poor quality, cheap product, poor life span. I am picky though. The bbk stuff I have been party too is much much nicer in flanges, coating, fitment,and lifespan.

I have MAC shifter, pullies, o/r H, and hate them...well the shifter is decent but not close to the pro5.0 or mgw. Put the MAC upper controle arms on a buds 00gt and they were horrable, the adj. would not even go to the stock range and all the way out was too much.

I really like BBK's solid flange design. Prevents warping, which is the #1 problem w/ headers.
