I remember installing headers back in 85 on my 72 Merc and after the install I'd have to tighten all the bolts bi-weekly. Is that still the norm?

I'm thinking about JBA long tubes but won't bother if I will have to tighten bolts for the rest of my life.

i've got them on my 92 GT, the key is to tighten them and then let the motor get hot and then tighten them again, I've honestly never had a header problem on any of my vehicles....not certain if it is only a "cheap" header issue....I would hope that JBA knew what they were doing, it would be a shame to see an 05 GT riding around sounding like an old pulp-wood truck....LOL

I agree, I've had them on two other cars with no problems.

 

Good, I'll be adding LTH and exhaust to my list of upcoming mods then.

Thanks for the replies.

What am I looking at for price of a Long Tube Header set up?
