On the fence over installing headers on x my 03 2.3L whippled 03 Cobra engine rebuild.

I have bbk because it came with my car way back when but Kooks 1' 7/8th would be my top choice

Ordered Remflex gaskets, thanks for advice.
Anyone try JBA mid lengths? I want at least 409 Stainless, prefer 300 series stainless. I have Stainlessworks exhaust.
Smaller high tire starter? 108 k on OEM, so I figure I should change it.
Are those cheap SVE starters any good?
Ford Performance?

I think there was an issue with JBA no longer offering a mid pipe for their headers. IF you want mid lengths look into Bassani. Though the gaskets you just ordered won't work with Bassani headers.

I'm on the stock starter at 134K. They're already small. You can throw some heat shielding on if you want. I had my headers ceramic coated.

1) The sound alone makes them worth it.

2) Pretty sure BBK is the main culprit when it comes to LT vs trans removal issues.
