View Full Version : Long tubes question

Been tossing the idea around of doing long tubes on my 01.

I have read before that it is a nightmare install. Is this true?

I am running stock headers on a Mac Prochamber with Flowmaster 40s.

I think I can just cut down the prochamber to fit the LTs if I went that route.

Whats your opinions/advice. How "bad" of an install is it?

never done it on a newer mustang but i did it on my fox body and everybody told me it was a nightmare it aint that bad if your motor mounts and trans mount are new and you use header studs. i think ot took me like 3 hours to put them on and have the car ready to drive

That being said, what shop would you recommend doing the work?

Got a ballpark idea on what labor would cost?

its easy but time consuming. I dropped my K member in no time. If you have tools and mechanic now how then tackle it yourself. Have a buddy come over and help out. If you have a tubular K already you may not need to drop the K then.
