Custom headers

[GTStatus]

Hiiii guyysss :]
One thing I'm definitely looking to do is headers. And I've posted about this before. I have a catted, high-flow Bassani X-pipe that I love, and am not planning on changing it for a different one. I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a place that might do custom headers.. What I mean is, I would like to get a nice set of long-tubes, but they don't make them for my X-pipe. I'd like to get Bassani long-tubes and have them custom fit onto my X-pipe.

Any help is always appreciated :]

Have you looked into getting a catted mid pipe to mate with the LT's.

If your going to have the LT's installed at a shop I don't see why they wouldn't be able to fab your mid pipe to fit. The only problem that might arise would be the way your X bolts to the stock manifolds is different then the way it has to bolt to the LT collectors. Other than that, it's just cutting and welding.

if ur dead locked in keepin ur midpipe, i personally dont think all the extra costs associated with getting LT's custom fitted is worth it. just my .02

Yeah because again, everyone says shorties are not worth the investment, but since the car is a 2V I'd like to let it breathe just a little bit more (all the while making it just a little bit louder, too!). Ah I just have no idea what to dooooo!!

Try Accufab they started out building headers for Mustangs. I currently have a set on my 68 built by them and if you look at their site you will see a complete listing for pretty much every year and combo.

Yeah, Accufab is supposed to be good, right? They also do throttle bodies and plenums, no?

I'll check it out, thanks for the help, guys :]

Yep their pretty good. I had to cut up the headers though but not due to their work. They would work great if my car was still stock! I also have one of their TB's and it is definitely a nice piece!

See, my problem is the car isn't loud enough. I mean it is loud, and it sounds awesome, but I want just a little bit more noise. Like my car is super quiet when it's just idling. Some people suggested cams but I hear they're real expensive, labor more than parts, on my year. And I don't know if I want that muscle car sound. A friend of mine has an '02-style Camaro with cams and it just doesn't sound natural coming from that car (but a '69 is a different story!).

I'm still unsure what to do. I'm also still broke lol Right now I think I wanna just get a nice sound system for the car, then lower it, then if anything start doing some work to it. It'd be nice if the car was paid off... Ugh! This car business really is a long, expensive hobby!!

Try some 410 gears....They keep you in a higher RPM most of the time so it will seem the car is louder! Will make you feel a lot snappier of the line also!
