hey everyone. I need some help with locating long tube headers. All I seem to be able to find is the shorty bbk headers and Id much prefer to have long tube. Ive done some research and looked at mac but the biggest complaint ive heard about them is that they rust out fairly quickly. Does bbk make long tube headers for my v6 2000 mustang? I want ones that are stainless. Thank you to any of you who go out of your way to help me out.

Pacesetter is the only other company that I know of that makes LT's for the 3.8L's. You can have custom LT's made but that isn't cost effective unless you have a full race set-up. Look at your stock exhaust manifolds and tell me that they are not rusty...

if you are looking for more performance with the long tube headers its not worth it. long tube headers are only good if you are making 400+ horsepower. you would be better off with equal length shorties

Not true, not even close.
Shorties net 2 to -1 hp on a stock v6. Long tubes will net somewhere around 10 hp on a stock v6 but you won't pass Cali emmissions.

ya im not worried about passing cali emissions since I dont intend to live there any time soon. So Tex, what do you suggest for the LT headers?

ya mine are rusty but to be expected. I have a leak in my RF header and it just drives me crazy. Which is why I want the best headers I can get for my car.
