Header install on 05+

[jared88]

I was wondering is if anyone here has put on LT's on there 05+ Mustang? I have had a set of JBA Titanium coated Headers since last fall and I am getting ready to put them on. I ordered new Steeda motor mounts for the project and they should be here soon. I am going to do this project with a friend and I wanted to know how difficult it was? I have to have it done before the nice weather gets here! I was told it is a lot easier than the earlier models. I did read JBA's directions and it did not seem that bad. What do you guy's think?

I haven't bought a set due to the P.I.T.A factor. From what I have read and seen, it is about an 8 hour job for the backyard mechanic. And about a 6 for a pro. i have seen it done by removing motor mounts and starter motors, and I have also seen the bloody knuckle gun ho way.

Mine were a piece of cake. I had Rhinebeck Ford do it while I was on vacation in Munich drinking really good beer . Seriously, it's well worth it. They sound freakin' awesome. I got mine from American Racing Headers in L.I.

I did mine... If I had all the parts i needed it would have only taken me a day on jack stands... 2-3 header bolts on each side suck... Dont remove starter on passenger side undo the mount,ground and such and tilt your engine extremely high with either a 2x4 or a phone book inbetween you hydralic jack lift and your oil pan and tip the motor and just slip it by... buy O2 extensions and do the same on the drivers side just unding your steering colum...

would be willin to help out depending how far you live...
