I currently have a Borla Exhaust kit on my 05 stang and i am thinking about headers now. Is that the best direction to go in? When i installed the exhaust i kept the mid pipes from the factory on and only installed the axle back becuase the factory mid pipes looked stronger. Since Borla doesnt make headers for the 05 GT yet i am not sure what my next move should be. ANy adive would help

Stainless Works has a great set of longtube headers available-1 3/4" or 1 5/8". I installed the 1 3/4 plus their 3" full exhaust and picked up 19 rwhp/19 rwtq. It sounds great as well. Here's a clip if you want to hear it.

and another from the back.

The 1 5/8" longtubes are $699 and the 1 3/4" are $799. They are quality built. As far as the red, I assume you mean red line (rpm). You'll have to have your tune adjusted to bump up your rev limiter. I have mine moved up to 7000 rpm, but that's because I powershift at 6400 rpm and with powershifting, my rev's move up to about 6700.
