Default Foxbody headers

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 $?

The ceramic coat on Flowtechs is only on the outside, not on the inside of the tubes. less expensive and pretty under the hood, but the inside tubes do deteriorate. I like to buy the plain sets and have the headers coated inside and out and just do it once. They last much much longer and keep your engine from inhaling rust after it sits!

FYI, I also build my own merge collectors with the diy kits from Cone Engineering.
