BBK GT Long Tube Headers
Each BBK Full length header system is CAD designed and manufactured with 1 5/8"" CNC mandrel bent tubing for unrestrictive airflow and a one piece 3/8” laser cut flange for added strength and durability.ALL BBK exhaust headers are pressure tested to ensure leak free performance. Each BBK full length exhaust header system has been designed and dyno tested at the BBK headquarters in Southern California for Maximimum performance. Results have shown an additional 14-22 rear wheel horsepower over stock.
BBK’s Mustang full length headers are recommended for built engines and high performance applications. They offer BBK’s distinctive quality that guarantees many years of top performance.
These BBK CNC Series full length headers for the 1996-2004 Mustang GT are available with optional high-temp Silver polished ceramic coating or a chrome finish.
All exhaust header kits include new gaskets and hardware.
You're going to have a decision to make when it comes to selecting a new set of headers for your Mustang… shorty or long tubes. Well, I'm going to go ahead and put it out there before we get into the differences.
Shorty Headers
We all know that factory manifolds are restrictive and not the best for making power. ... more
These headers are great, sound great, give great power gains. Install is easier if you have a tubular K member, but not required. I like to use the Ford or Felpro gaskets instead of the BBK gaskets. Do yourself a favor and get a flexible oil dipstick tube (they are cheap) because the factory one won't fit with the longtubes.

Excellent Fit, Difficult Install

I am far from a real mechanic, but I can hold my own against Joe Average and this install kicked my butt. Full exhaust from heads to tailpipes took around 30 total hours. A couple of tips from an untrained weekend knucklebuster. 1. Drop the K-member, it's a lot of work, but worth the extra room. 2. If you don't have a cherry picker, get an engine support bar that provides height adjustment. Lowering the engine allows great access to the header bolts. 3. Buy the O2 sensor extension cords (should be required with header purchase). 4. Fish the oil dipstick through the driver's side header before bolting it in place. 5. Leave a couple of the factory studs in place to locate the header & gasket, get a couple of new bolts in place before removing the last studs. 6. Be prepared to grind down a couple of the new bolts, the driver's side has a tube or two that are too close to the flange to fit the bolt in. Loads of work, but I learned a ton about the front end of my car and the sound with the H-pipe and Flowmasters sounds like a smoother version of my '68 302.

Awesome Sound and Fit, Disappointing Finish

The Good: The sound with these (paired with the catted H-pipe and Flowmaster American Thunder catback), is great! Low rumble at idle, noticeable growl at lower RPM and really opens up at higher RPM, just as you should expect with a long tube setup. Both sides fit just as advertised, no modifications necessary.
The Bad: While it was quite a chore to install these, it was mostly due to the fact that I had never dropped a K-member before, but now that I have, it's not too bad at all. Definitely easier than pulling the engine up. That's really more on the Ford engineers than on BBK.
The Ugly: I installed these headers on my '99 GT two years ago in April. Had to change the clutch two weeks ago and when I took off the passenger side header to drop the trans, I see that the coating on the headers is flaking off and the tubes are rusting. This is a daily driver in a four season climate so I guess the ceramic coating just wasn't fit to hold up to that environment.
