Four years ago i installed shorty headers on my 97 expe, now they leak really bad from a crack in the welds at the collector. Going to buy stock manifolds and reinstall them. My question is, how bad is it going to effect the horse power?

 

shorty headers = stock manifold power....

 

O good I was afraid I was going to have to drive this dam ford off a cliff!!!!!

 

Don't buy low quality headers and you won't have cracking...

 

They all suck!! THANK YOU SUMMIT RACING!!!!!

 

No they don't...

Heavy gauge, thick flanges, and good penetration on the welds will give you a set of headers that can last the life of the vehicle. Best if ceramic coated inside and out, or made out of Stainless Steel.

 

Why drop $500 on headers if they = stock horsepower?

 

because people love getting ripped off















P.S.
I have les than $500 in my long tubes...

 

I think I will find a good set of used stock manifolds then thanks for all your help!!!

 

good luck on your search
