Gwerks,

Got 'em from Sal. I don't remember the exact price, but they were around $500. I had my friend & mechanic Kevin Casey at K-R Mustang here in Sugar Land do the install (I helped). He does good work and charges fair prices too.

Hey Wyldman I know the Lightning comes with stock 5.4L headers, how much of a power gain did you notice with the new bassanis? I am curious because I do not want to buy the whole system.

An absolute number on the headers is going to be difficult for me to say, I have done a couple of other mods with them (including new code for Sal's chip,it rules!) and haven't made a trip to the dyno yet.

The SOTP meter says that torque is increased a bit and the throttle response is much improve as a result of Beastie being able to breath better. Those stock manifolds are a joke.

I have an appointment for the dyno next week, I'll post the data then.
