Just curious what others are using. My hedmans that were the trick header when Evan Smith built the MMFF project stocker, have developed several cracks. I am looking at headman # 85617 that are a stepped header. The Kooks headers just seem to have too big of a primary tube from what I am seeing.
Thanks Sean

I have been using the Pacesetters they fit well in the chassis. I cut the collector off and used merge collector from performance welding.

I have 1 5/8" FlowTech long tubes on my Mustang. I can`t say how they compare to anything else, since they are the only set I`ve tried to date. They are reasonably priced, clear the scattershield fine, and they won`t need collector tethers!

out of the box you can't beat the flowtechs for fit and performance we stock and sell a lot of them
we replaced them on Beth's car with a set of the headman step headers and saw virtually no improvement untill we installed mark' lelchock's collectors on them so ANY 5.0 stocker we build from scratch gets them and i would build another one if IHRA would ever get there act together and straighten out how about a minus 2.00 second under pure stocker? Fast and consistent so even a cripple like me could drive it and go rounds after qualifying #1 ![]()

Thanks for all the responses. As others have found the results seem to be in the collectors. I have tried the original slip on collectors, the flowmaster scavenger merge collectors. All of these with and without an X-pipe. The flowmaster by far had the best results. I will be looking into the collectors that have been listed.
Thanks Sean

As far as the flow techs go is it worth the extra $100 or so to buy the ceramic coated version or is their coating not any good? No doubt Jet Hot would be better, but is it worth the extra $?

FYI, I also build my own merge collectors with the diy kits from Cone Engineering. Last edited by fordteacherguy; 03-09-2014 at 10:33 AM. |
