finally going to install my headers. was wondering if dropping the k member is the best route to take. i have a lift at my house and all the tools i should need. if i drop the k member what have you guys done to support the engine?
Drill a 3/16" hole on each side of the rear lower K member down through where the bolts go into the subframe. Use these holes to realign the K-member when the headers are on. This is invaluable in saving time when reinstalling the Kmember and getting it squared back onto the car.
Ive done this on three cars now and it works great.
are headers really worth getting with all the hassle that you have to do? I'm thinking about getting them and not sure if I should or not...do they make that much of a difference?
Yes they are worth every penny. A lot of people dismiss the headers because they claim that they dont make good power or something in the neighborhood of that.
But the other advantages are; engine breaths way better than stock, extracts heat and you cant beat the sound of them. I should have done them earlier
ok but I mean all I have is a CAI, off road x, and catback...I can see if I had boost or something like that so do you still think its worth it?
What inspiration. You make it sound so easy. And its your first time. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy about doing mine soon. Times wasting must be done by Mustang week. I have a bunch of shit in the garage it seems I keep buying but not installing!! Keep up the updates, thanks!
