How to Select Longtube Headers (The Right Way!)

If you're going to buy a no-name brand of headers, expect to get what you pay for. They might or might not fit correctly, and they can/will hit steering or other chassis parts, or have to be dented to clear. Not the best for fit, finish or looks. Based upon what we've seen around the industry, there can also be long-term cracking issues, as the headers go through heat cycles. Another common issue is the bolts and hardware constantly loosening up causing rattling and/or the mid-pipe coming loose. 

There are many street, strip, or race headers out there that are quality, but our preference is to go with offerings from Long Tube Headers (LTH) whenever we can. Just as the name implies, they specialize in long tube headers for newer vehicles, and they build a quality, thick-flanged, corrosion-resistant Titan finish, tig-welded stainless steel header that is a direct fit on most newer mustangs. The last thing you want when trying to do something like a clutch job is to have to hack apart and rebuild an entire exhaust system, so we also recommend direct-fit replacements whenever possible.
