Im trying to buy headers for my 88 5.0 LX but i dont know whether i need special ones b/c i have a flowtech h pipe. they would be shorty headers and i know the difference between equal and unequal length ones.. if anyone has any recommendations it would be appreciated.

Go with the FRPP Ceramic headers. They are the best quality. They use 409 Stainless Steel and use REAL Jet Hot Coatings "Sterling" finish. They come with a Lifetime warranty from Jet Hot. As far as equal length and unequal length. You really are not going to pick up HP with the equal length and if you plan on keeping the car for a while it makes changing plugs a Bi***. Not worth it. Ford sells one header part#397-M-9430-P51 for them now for both stock and GT-40p heads. They will work on either. Also sn9550 is right about getting Felpro 1415's. Don't use the ones that come with the headers.

JBA also makes nice headers but they're expensive. If you have stock heads you can use Felpro stock replacement gaskets. I don't know the # though. You can go to www.autozone.com and look them up. Just make sure to get graphite/steel laminate gaskets. If your talking about head or header gaskets you can order from www.summitracing.com or www.jegs.com.

If you are going to go with FRPP then I suggest you pay the extra $50 and get the JET HOT Coated ones. Jegs has them for $299.00.

I put a set of Hooker Super Comps on my car. Great fit and very pleased with them. Have had them on my car for about 3 yrs now and they are great.
