No reshaping of the oil dipstick tube was necessary. Only had to loosen the bolt that holds the tube to the block, install the header, then retighten! On my 95 and 99 Cobra, I had to reshape the dipstick tube after the headers were installed...
ORANGE WHIP:
Sorry you don't feel that headers do any justice... However, for those that go to the tracks, and who occasionally race there Mustangs for what they were meant for (ie: sports cars), headers are great! I can guarantee you that my car pulls harder than before, and that is BEFORE my tune next week! Like Angus said, peak numbers don't mean sqwat, except for that, a number! You have to look throughout the curve to really see your improvements. My car dyno'ed stock at around 262HP. After a simple EFI dyno tune, it was up to 278HP, BUT I gained almost 30HP throughout the curve. Could I feel it? H*** YEAH!
Was it worth my time this weekend? You betcha! Not to mention I enjoy working on the car. Big deal, it took a little while to do. You in a hurry to get somewhere? Don't get caught up in peak #'s...
