Strong construction heavy guage metal

Poor welding in collector area had holes that allowed exhaust to leak. Had to take back and spend 3 more hours to replace. Pressure tested new ones with A jig I built held upto 150psi for 24hours. Shop gave attitude on the headers. needed to buy new ones then get my credit card refunded upon returning. They don't leak at the collector welds. But poor sealing at the X-pipe connection to the header. Leaks constantly. Buy other headers from Ford. Save your money and aggravation

Bought a pair BBK 1515 Short Unequal Headers

I have been running the header for about six months, and no leaks at all.

. The only complaint is the matching H-pipe made my BBK did not match. I hade to have it bent by a local shop to make it work.

I bought equal length headers from Jegs. I like the headers, they look good, and the construction of the header is excellent.

decent price if they werent crap

bad weld, people who assemble had one two many

Installed headers today and NOT happy, the egr tube had the nut put on backwards and of corse couldnt be used so I cut and retrofit the old one, install took aprox 6 hrs for everything mainly because I used the stage 8 bolts(very nice) but takes a while to install, ANYWAY, I get it all together and guess what IT LEAKS...leak is comming from the section above the flange on the drivers side..pretty much where the pipes all come together..so now of corse ill have to get summit to send out a new one the only problem is Ill have to send the other one in first which is a big problem since this is my daily driver..I own other BBk products and Im pleased with them but this sucks...Ive heard bad thigs about their headers but chose not to beleive since I did have good luck with other products from them...not anymore..SAVE yourself the aggravation..buy ford or JBA

can be fun to install ha ha ha

these are a good product. the help the car out alot over the crimped dinky stock headers. Decent welds, should chip away the weld spatter prior to install, nice nickle plating but that only lasts till you turn the key then they turn all blue and colorfull. When I went to change my clutch last week couldnt lossen the stud bolts and broke one right off, just needed a little drilling and tapping, no biggie. Overall a good choise even on a stock engine.

Don't know about the others that posted good reviews. I guess every car is different...after installing the bbk equals (ceramic coated) in my car (required lifing the engine about 2 inches) I found that the passenger side had about .050 in. clearance with the shock tower. Sure enough, they vibrated under even mild acceleration. It was unbearable and I didn't feel like doing any metal forming - I replaced them with the less flashy Ford Racing Unequals which, for obvious reasons, fit much better - sans the cool looks and throatier sound. By the way, Summit was really cooperative on the return.

209.95 for headers and all accessories, I would reccomend this product to anyone and I have not had trouble with clearance in the engine compartment because it is suggested that you make sure your engine is centered as it was from the factory.

Welding and Construction look strong, thick flange material, direct bolt on to stock components, all parts required are included. Solid construction.

Chrome discolored very shortly after installation.
Kinda pricey ($350 CDN) though up here we don't have to many aftermarket retailers, or the parts availability.

A HUGE improvement over stock!
Fairly easy to install, instructions were graphic. Some of the bolts were hard to access while tightening (expectedly). The only difficulty was re aligning the dipstick to tighten it against the header bolt. Installed in about 6 hrs. (for an amature installation)
Headers were great addition to a gradual buildup. Though I would personally reccomend getting long tube equal length headers and custom fabricating an exaust from that point. It would have been cheaper than purchacing the off-road H-pipe, then the headers, then the cat-back. I'm not convinced that equal-length shorties would flow any better than unequal shorties?!
There were no difficulties with clearances, spark plugs were still accessable, and plug wires do not come close to the tubes. Nice clean appearance.
I would reccomend them.

Just those incredibly horrible looking stock "headers"!!

chrome plating has held up fairly well, easy installation

headers rub steering knuckle- I had to remove the drivers side after installing & dent one tube for clearance- really pissed me off, but since then have'nt had a problem

Can't really recommend since after the install I had to remove the drivers side & dent the header for clearance. I would have to say to go with headman from prior experience.
