i would be interested. install is not an issue for me, so my input is to not sacrifice power for an easier install--even if it means having to lower the engine a bit. clearing 06 racks are a must too.

 

+1 on clearing steering racks for 06's

That was the one reason why I had to get rid of my Crawfords.

 

Any updates? Still interested. And +2 on clearing the 06 rack.

 

Based on the results of SG's testing, the 03-05 just isn't going to see a lot of peak gains from headers. Rev-up and HR guys are listening though.

 

definatley instrested, as long as the gains are there for a reasonable price

 

I havn't heard back from them yet. I will email them today..

 

Why doesn't FastIntentions (a member/sponsor) post updates and make comments himself?

Also, as far as long tube headers from FI, I'd only be interested if they can produce headers that yield as much gains (or more) than SGM's long tube headers for a cheaper price.

 

Fast intentions probably won't be cheap..

 

Build it and they will come!

 

I PM'd FI to check this thread out. Hopefully they respond

I apologize to everyone for taking so long to chime in on this. About 3 years ago we designed a prototype for the DE in a shorty header version. The gains were minimal and we scraped the project. About 6 months ago we prototyped the HR long tube header. The gains we achieved on a car that already had our high flow cats and cat back were substantial. Our long tube headers eliminate catalytic converters altogether. In some states they will not pass emissions and are considered for off road use only. In other cases some will never have an issue passing smog with them.

Here is the deal. I am willing to entertain the idea of a long tube for the DE however I need to see enough serious interest generated and I will have to do a prototype before I even consider production. Only problem right now is I am very undermanned and have a back long of work that is about 4 months long. We are moving to a 9,000 sq. ft shop in November. Once I get settled in there and hire more help, I will try to make something happen. Until then I am sorry but there is not time.

Thanks for chiming in Tony.

If there was a way to guestimate a round about price range, we could probably see what kind of interest there is in a long tube DE header. That way, whenever you're ready, you would know in advance.

 

Just curious, did you ever put the HR long tubes into production?

 

Yes, You took the words out of my mouth. Shorty headers are a waste of time and money on N/A cars with stock cams. The mustang forums contain numerous write ups on this subject. I have a full built long block w/ stage 3 BC cams and vortech supecharger. I'm using Meagan Racing Long Tube Headers to take full advantage of the flow potential.

It would be nice to have a real good quality set of long tube headers, especially with 3" collectors.

 

so what is the outcome of this? I am in for some long tube headers. I am looking for a change. Did any figure out if this going to delete the cats?

 

read up on the 370 forum and after the guy changed form stillen to FI it had a better powerband sorta and less Peak. if i was him id feel like a idiot. SG Motorsports are idiots for charging 2k for headers. No one has seen SG LTHs on a stock Z to actually see GAINS. Only on semi built or race cars. On my particular set up to really max me out on stock block it would cost around 3200$ without install for about idk 30hp. (ART pipes 3-10hp over what i got now, SG Lths which i guess would yield 20hp. THen uprev Tune. Sorry if im blabbing im at a bar with my gf not having fun so im excessive drikning oniphone

 

I would be interested if the headers yielded a worthy gain and can fit the 06 Revups, and most importantly the price was "reasonable"

 

I would definitely purchase...

According to SG's testing of long tube headers on the DE, the limiting factor wasn't the headers, but the cams. The HR uses a much more aggressive cam profile than the DE's. If the user were to slap in a set of Nismo R or JWT cams, then LTH on a DE is just as promising as the HR. Not to mention, the gains he experienced from his custom intake manifold.

Since the rules changed at my local track, I plan to run "street stock" this year at the main event. Any little bit of hp I can attain will help greatly.

 

A long-tube header such as SGs by design are a combination of a header and a test pipe. Therefore you can't install an un-modified SG long-tube header and ART pipes on the same Z or G.
