5.0 Headers

[Unreal]

Can't decide on a brand. Pypes, JPC, ARH, Kooks, SW. Some are $750-800, others are $1300+. Already have a lethal off-road xpipe but could easily remove or sell that.

2012 GT. Can't make the car too loud. Stock mufflers. Wife's daily driver, just want another 20-30hp.

ARH or kooks would be my choice. Every set of pypes i have installed have never fit properly.

you get what you pay for. do it once.

I'm running BBK's on mine. HPP just did a baseline pull before the blower install and she made 430hp/420tq. They seem to make power and aren't nearly as expensive as the others.

pypes are junk

i just dont think the horsepower/dollar is there for longtubes and another mid-pipe for these new 5.0's.

People are seeing 20-30hp. That would be worth it. Car dynoed 380rwhp through the auto with SCT/xpipe/airaid intake. I just want another ~20-30. Currently runs high 12s@110-111mph at 6000+DA. Should be a low 12 second car in Dallas easy enough.

Hooker headers used to be the shit back in the day. Don't know what people think of them now.

American racing FTW!!!!!

[Unreal]

Yah, ARH are top notch but you pay for them. I don't need top shelf parts. Hell, I may just go turbos and skip the headers.

the pypes x we put on marisa's car went on without fitment issue, fwiw

Mbrp is good..

[Phuck Phace]

Over on SVTP, there were a couple write-ups in the last few days on Kooks and Pypes...might help towards your decision.

Fastest stock longblock n/a 5.0 in the world runs Pypes exhaust from headers back. They might not fit worth a shit (I don't know) but there isn't anyone faster with the more expensive parts.
