Headers

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-Sep-02 AT 07:39 AM (EST)]Ford Motorsport Headers:

[link:www.summitracing.com|Summit Racing]

Part number to search for is FMS-M-9430-E50.

They are $175.95 a set...

That is what most of us are running. They are good headers, but I do recommend buying a good set set of gaskets along with them. From what I understand, some are having a problem with the gaskets blowing on the passenger's side. May just be their install, but it never hurts to have an extra set anyway...

I have not had any problems with mine. If you need any info on the install, let me know...

unfortunately frpp is no longer producing these headers... I called them first. It would seem Summit no longer is carrying... probably out of inventory. Ford told me they only sold a dozen sets a year when they were making them. there are no aftermarket options though I have written many companys.

I just called Summit - they do have them in stock. Which heads do you have, the regular GT-40's or the GT-40P's? It really doesn't make a difference because the headers will fit either way, but if you have the P's, you will have to tap them for the EGR tube...

Good Luck!!

they make a big difference.there used to be an e52.for the 97 with egr tube.but ford canned them 2 yrs ago.have your old fitting cut off and welded on to headers.it only cost me the $30 minimum at my local welding shop.its stainless so do it right it will last a long time
