I saw the price of them and thought wow seems like a pretty good deal. I even talked to Pypes and they claim you don't even have to jack up the engine to install them.

Has anyone installed them? What are your thoughts?

HA! to install them..

So.. your not running any headers on your mustang now? must be pretty damn loud, and smell like **** in the cab :O

never, ever believe the marketing junk that 99.999999% of every aftermarket car part will say. Stick with what you know, if thats nothing. then assume the worst at all times.

I'm installing a set of JBA shorties this weekend and I've been doing a bunch of research on the install. From what I can tell, it may not be necessary in all cases to jack up the engine. However, I think it makes installing the headers far easier because it increases the amount of room to work with. Really jacking up the engine doesn't appear to be that difficult and it opens up a lot of room under the car. Here is a link to an install of BBK headers you can look over. It will show the increase in room and how easy it is to jack up the engine.

OK? Why would my Mustang smell like **** in the cab? But whatever.

Trust me I understand the whole marketing aspect. I have been building and working on cars for awhile.
