What sucks is doing a clutch or any trans work with the long tubes in the way. Maybe Mid length headers I dont know if they make them? You do pickup power with the longtubes I dont Know how much other people will chime in.
Yes, it is worth the work. You will not think so when you are doing it, but you drive it you will forget all the cursing, skinned knuckles, and missing tools that you threw across the shopBlackBullitt2615 said:So from what I hear, it seems as if many people don't get much horsepower by adding long tube headers. Is it really worth all the work and money if you are just running a stock motor or should I wait till I build a higher output 4.6L?

UDBullitt said:i got long tubes on my car and an o/r x pipe at the same time. i can't chime in on how much extra hp i made but i can tell a difference. i like the sound. all i need now is a catback and a tune. oh i also got a new clutch and 4.10 gears. i'm feeling mostly the gears and not the headers but the sound is great.
Yea I have a densecharger system for the cai, is that a good one? I have never seen another one so I have no clue if it is good or not! All these mods were done b4 I got the car so now im just trying to straighten everything out and upgrade myself! Thanks for the help!Mus408 said:I put the best headers I could find,didn't want fitment issue or corrsion problems,and wanted a good power and torque making design...went with the Kooks!
Did the install,in my shop,dropping the K-member is the way to go. Before you drop the K-member,scribe some location lines around the flange areas,to help with reinstallation. I went a step further and drill 2, 1/4 inch dia. locating holes,at the rear mounting flange. These were slip fit holes,and by using 2 pins,you line it up,slip the pins in, then tighten up the bolts,then remove pins. It is right back in it's place!
If you don't have a CAI kit,get a good one,like a JLT, to improve intake airflow,plus a good tune.
These steps really woke up my Bullitt!
