Headers? Steeda said no.

Headers? Steeda said no.
Ok so I currently have a Lethal Off-Road H-Pipe going to resonator deletes than to Borla S-Type Mufflers. I am now interested in doing headers. I called up steeda to ask how much labor they would charge for the job.
I also asked if its possible if they can cut my H pipe to fit the headers I will get. They said they can not do that and i would need a new h pipe. They said its not practical and it will never really fit correctly.
So this kind of sucks because I didn't know this when I bought the H pipe which has only been about 2 months ago.
Is my best bet to just buy headers that come with a h pipe and sell the one i have?
Whats the best sounding headers for the 5.0 and do any of them come with a offroad h pipe or only offer offroad x? thanks.

I wouldn't mess with headers unless it's just something you absolutely must have. Just depends on what you're looking for with your car. If every available n/a horsepower you can get out of it is your goal, then I guess you gotta get the LTs but I would mod elsewhere. Personal preference, good luck in your decision.

well i already have borla mufflers offroad pipe intake 93 tune etc.. not much else I can do besides headers or maybe boss manifold besides a supercharger. I am planning on doing a procharger sometime next year so I wanted to do headers next.

Oh yeah, if you're getting a power adder, then Long tube and X pipe it to fit. Sell the H pipe and cut your minimal loss. You're going to have to get a new tune then get another tune when you add the charger if you do it now though. Save a few bucks and just do the LTs/xpipe , charger and tune at one time; then sell your h pipe. This way you don't have to get multiple tunes every time you're adding mods.

well I have steeda tune 93 octane tune, wont they just update my tune accordingly for the new mods for free every-time I add a part especially if they are the ones installing it?
#7
if ur looking for new mods i just added a boss mani and 1pc aluminum driveshaft and all i have is smiles on my face, especially the new driveshaft, that thing is amazing!! and i went with cat deletes and an off road hpipe and i would suggest the same becuz i personally dont think longtubes are worth the cost and labor
#8
good idea those are the two things i have NOT done. Ok so if i go for the boss 302 manifold, I will need the manifold itself and I will need a new strut tower brace. What else do i need to get for it too fit with the steeda CAI? Do i need a spacer or other parts to attach the boss 302 manifold? What about a new throttle body?

How much would you buy it for?
So I have been looking and I want the Kooks LTH. Do you guys think I should stick with the offroad h pipe with the headers or go catted? I do not want to lose power and I do not care how loud it is, however, I want whatever will sound better.
I think I might just do the headers and the boss manifold all at same time.

ordered the kooks long tube headers and offroad h pipe today. =) pretty excited and i got a sick deal on it! so my lethal off road h pipe is officially up for sale, however, the headers wont be getting installed for a few weeks and have to wait for them to get here.
#19
just called up steeda they told me they wont install kooks longtube headers because it is "illegal" ? However, they installed my offroad pipe which is also illegal.. am i missing something here?

Kooks Long Tube Headers (1 3/4" x 3") - 2011+ Mustang GT (5.0L)
They are longtube, every site that sells them says so. That's copy and pasted directly. I got the 3/4 because I am going to stay N/A for a long long time if not ever and was told by kooks tech support themselves that I will lose low end torque with the 7/8 and for what i am doing with the car 3/4 are better.
