[QUOTE="BenD, post: 2207519, member: 13082"] [b]Headers worth consideration[/b] I have to agree that installation headaches are simply a fact of life when it comes to installing any type of headers on the Cobras. I have to admit that I avoided that mod for nearly 3 years, but finally decided that the HP gains were a secondary consideration. More important than HP gains is engine heat relief. Anytime you can get rid of the red hot comustion gases more quickly and efficiently the better, especially with this engine. Granted, header installation is less of a task if the engine is out of the car or in my case a K-Member install. Once you see the stock headers out of the car you wonder how the car ran as well as it does. They are really poorly designed and look like an after thought. My recommendation is bite the bullet and include headers in your mod list at some point in time, sooner the better. You want that heat going out the tail pipes, not staying in the engine compartment!. Look at it as probably the best heat reduction mod, followed by a larger radiator and heat exchanger. [/QUOTE]
