Headers help!

Are these garbage? I was thinking BBK or JBA?

eBay Motors: 4.0L V6 Ford Mustang Stainless Steel Header 2005 - 2008 (item 160211053897 end time Mar-02-08 10:30:29 PST)

Save your money. Shorty headers on the 2005+ V6 do not add much power. The stock manifolds flow quite well.
If you wanna do it for looks only, then you could consider something like those.

the s197 stock manifolds flow very well like posted above, but you will notice an improvement with l/t's, just not like on the older models...

LTs did help some, at least from SOTP feel. Don't know how much, though.

Go to Lethal Performance.
As for the pic your asking about, they don't look tuned and definitely not tuned. I would not spend the $. if headers are what you want go LT

A longhorn fan living in College Station?

It's a touch over 2 hours to San Marcos from C.S., was there for a water polo tournament this weekend, and I can get to S.A. in about an hour, so I figure C.S -> S.A. is about 3 hour trip.
