So far so good with the headers. I'm really happy with them. The dyno tune and headers have really turned this thing into a beast from about 3200 to redline. I was actually impressed with the fit of the BBKs and so far no issues except for the BMR driveshaft loop hits the x pype. Looks like I will be getting a METCO loop soon.

No they tuck up nice. I have seen SLPs and they do hang down alot, I know one guy the kept dragging his and he was talking about getting different headers. I dont think you can beat them for the price. I got the ceramic ones and they look good also.

All BBK headers are mild steel. If you want them to last, you gotta get 'em with ceramic coating. I've got BBK ceramic shorties on a daily driver, but my friends track only 2005 mustang has the BBK ceramic coated LTs. He's had no problem with them. Of course, here in sunny California, rust is not serous issue, so mild steel headers should be O.K. However, if I lived in a wetter climate, I'd have to have T-304 stainless steel headers, for peace of mind.

304 is certainly better than 409 in pretty much all aspects, that's for sure.
FYI- you have Magnaflow listed in your sig, and everything they make for the 05+ Mustang is 409 except for sections of their mufflers; this has been verified using the old magnet test.

Yeap...Yeap...and Yeap. My Magnaflows are all 409 SS except the tips which are 304 SS. 409 is not really bad and they will probably last like 6-8 years without rusting out. Even in a salty enviroment like I am in. So they aren't all bad. Most of us will not have our cars long enough to need to spend the bucks for 100% 304 ss mufflers. And just because the cost more doesn't mean they sound better.
