Shorty Headers - What to Get?

1967 Mustang Coupe --289, .030 over, 10.5 forged, Edelbrock Performer Kit (carb, cam, intake), balanced & blueprinted, ported & polished, exh valve seats --No A/C or P/S, Manual drum brakes (for now) --C4 Auto Trans --2.73 Gears, 8"

Ok....thanks to you folks, a check with a local speed shop guru....and my own research, I have decided to go with a composite recommendation from all sources: shorty headers, Dr. Gas x-pipe, Flowmaster mufflers.



The question now is: What brand of shorty headers should I go with? I've tried researching Hedman, Hooker, BBK......I can't find anything for my specific application. I've written each, but no responses yet. What is your recommendation?



Thanks in advance to the list.

1-1/2 long tubes,2-1/2 H pipe & 2-1/2 Dynomax super turbo mufflers,with 2-1/4 tailpipes.

Shorties for an older car my be harder to find. Not to mention more money than full length headers. you might try JBA for some shorties. I will warn you that 90% do not like the sound of an X pipe with a chambered muffler. If you like a tin can type sound (which some people do, myself included) then go for it.

Exactly, with that engine.
