I recently purchased a 2004 mustang gt 40th ann. I was wondering for the best outcome, which type of headers should I get if I am looking for more torque and which type of cam? this car is my daily driver, it has a K&N cold air intake and a 2.5 in Bassani exhaust.

I added a set of long tube headers and an x-pipe; however, I did not like the sound of the x-pipe as I had in the past and switched to an off road h-pipe. I love the sound of the H-pipe. I thought the x-pipe sounded better with my Shorty tube headers, but I must admit "that different strokes for different folks. In addition, you must keep in mind that you will also need to look for headers based on whether or not you have an automatic or manual transmission. As far as the cams, you will also need to know what kind of transmission you have. This is critical when adding a cam as you may need a stall convertor if you have an automatic transmission. Nonetheless, you will need to assess what you want to spend and what will give you the biggest bang for your buck. I have a 98 Mustang GT with Mac Ceramic Coated headers with an off road h-pipe and side exhaust flowmasters. People love the sound and I love the torque.:bigthumbsup

I have a manual tranny, the car already sounds great with the Bassani exhaust. Im not worried about just looking for something that will make the car have more torque

These American Racing Headers are a popular choice, and they're full-length with an x-pipe for good power gains.

If you really wana go with cams I suggest checking modularheadshop.com if it was me though I would spend that money else where on other mods but if you are wanting the cam for sound then I understand that. I would just give them a call at MHS and tell them what you want and sure they will tell you what you need to know.
