LTH Headers

[larr12]

Just received the LTH Headers. Let me tell you guys, this headers are absolutely beautiful. Installation will be in around 2 weeks with a before and after dyno #s.

Thanks to my buddy Terry @beefcake for a great price and customer service.

Installed an identical set on my DD from @beefcake about a month ago, fitment was spot on. After 50+ miles it threw a code for the 2nd bank of o2 sensors. Installed a set of 90 degree "adapters", no code since.

Are you on stock tune?

Are you on stock tune?

Yes, stock tune. When I first started the car after header install there was one slight cough from the intake and then everything was as before, smooth. No before/after dyno runs.
Perceived performance gains were not immediate, took 70+ miles or so for the car to adjust to the higher flow and start pulling better than stock (grin inducing) and if anything initially the car "felt" slower.
One other difference is the exhaust note and volume. Installed a MBRP Street catback w/H-pipe prior to installing the catted LTH and was perfectly happy with the sound and volume, since installing the headers not so much. It's to freakin loud and bassy for me. Purchased everything from @beefcake, a good crew to deal with and will respond to questions concerning your order even after they have your money.

@Sigman Time to get some AWE axle-back! Glad to know that the adapters solved the CEL. And yes, Terry and @beefcake team customer service is top-notch.

Any reason for not getting a tune?

The plan is to add a S/C in the future, working on supporting mods first.

Are you installing the headers yourself or having a shop do the install?

Excellent headers! I have them on mine and have been very happy with them.

I thought about doing it myself on jack stands but decided against it. Im gonna take it to a local shop that does a lot of Mustangs. Quoted me $400.00

That's a pretty good price, it was an 8 hr install with the car on jack stands here and that's with several header installs in my history.

I have the street catback now and love it. Do you have a video of your car? Really close to doing long tubes. Also a link for the adapters you used.
