well i finally got the time to install my headers this weekend sounds good they are ford racing shortys unequal. they are not real loud at idle but when you get on it its a lot deeper...... the install took about 7hrs but i was workin alone and i also installed my new tranny mount while i was at it so it wasnt to bad

i know theres no difference in power, but is tehre any difference in driveability?

as in ive heard that it makes the 5.0's "come off the line smoother"

yeah you can notice a little change in how the car comes off the line and just the overall driveability of the car i like em

Wow 7 hours, sounds like it gave you a hard time

That is the truth......The first time I replaced my balancer, I was under there for almost 2 hours....

My seal leaked....changed it like 3 times....now I am in there and out in 15 minutes!

Good job on the header install....give it a day or two....then go in and re-torque the bolts (to proper specs)....sometimes they loosen up

Sn's must be harder....I just pulled my headers,spark plugs, H Pipe and radiator in 3 hours. I just did a smog delete, so that made it easier.I'll admit that when I did my tranny mount in took 2 hours...that w/o lifting vehicle.

yeah first time doin it and i did the tranny mount with the car on jackstands but i could have gottn it done alot faster but didnt want to rush through it and screw nething up and i also was in no hurry..... dont get alot of time to just F$%^ off in the garage anymore

yeah definitely keep an eye on the header bolts, they dotend to loosen
