Pacesetter headers are here!

[SilverCobra7]

Got a pic of the X-Pipe that came with it? Curious to see how they hook up.

Cat-back is just a regular magnaflow system. Not the Magnapacks.

I dont have a pic of the x-pipe. But its a slip fit 3" collector. Uses clamps like regular exhaust pipe. Came with all the clamps and hardware...

Here is a pic of what it pretty much looks like in this auction: PaceSetter 82-1146 Off Road 2.5" X-Pipe for 96-04 Ford Mustang GT Cobra 4.6L V8 | eBay

Mine are on the way.

Thanks for sharing.

Not that it matters in the case of those headers, but here's a pic as an FYI of the OEM manifolds that shows the different sizes of the openings. The '03/'04 Cobra manifold is obviously the top one...

Wow! Thats cheap! lol Cheaper then used headers.

Good to know its 2000* coating on them also. Good find.

im interested in these too but my biggest issue is how low they will sit. My car sits real low

Well your pics and review inspired me to buy these headers and see how it goes. Not sure when I'll have time to install them but I'm in no hurry. Thanks for posting pics.

 

[My96z]

lol I havent installed them yet myself. Should be going together in the next two weeks... Wont be able to dyno them right away since I am doing a clutch also and that will need a 500 mile break-in before dyno fun.

 

[ModularSpeed]

Blasphemy. Just give it a few good heat cycles.

There is absolutely no reason for a clutch to need a 500 mile break in.

IN for review and #s!

 

[Quesplosive]

If i cant find some used headers i think im going to pull the trigger on these myself.

 

[TMSVT]

Any updates? Interested in seeing how they fit and run.

 

[My96z]

Not really any updates yet guys. The motor is going back together. Hopefully I will have you some updates soon.

Looks like I will be going with a UPR K-member while its apart.

For the meantime, here are some pics of the headers on the motor just after the valvetrain got assembled.

The headers look pretty on the stand....

Looks good!

Those cams and towers look like the ones I always remove from Mark 8 motors with 100+K miles. The heads themselves, look NEW. lol

 

[Boobinspector]

Looking forward to seeing this once I get back to Hood. By the way what unit are you in? I am in Atrp 1-7CAV. Hopefully after I get down there I should be able to get my cobra down there.

My tuner said that thats what happens when you over heat your motor. The heads were sent to the machine shop for resurfacing, and came back looking like they do.

Boobs - I am in 6-9 Cav, 3rd BDE. Shoot me a PM once you get back and settled.

 

[TMSVT]

They look great!!

 

[Anabolic]

whatever you do spray those with a silicone or something because if they get wet there goes your nice polished finish. i ruined my mac LT like that and dont want buy new ones.

 

[Anabolic]

do these actually go around steering linkage or do you still have to go through? i like these, we need dyno results/boost variants with headers/manifolds for these!
