Default Which headers....

OK, so I've got most of my engine parts needed, but I am kinda lost on which headers, or if I need to have my chassis guy build a set??

It's and LS2 based, 408ci going in an 04' Mustang. I've got a th400 for it, and I really, really don't wanna **** with pulling the headers off if I need to change converters, or swap to a glide later on!!

Has anyone done a swap into this style car, and what longtubes did you go with? Any links?

I heard they did, but wasn't exactly sure? My chassis guy can build me a set for a little under $1,000, but he's already getting enough money out of me, I hate to pay his mortgage more then I have to!

Im pretty sure the Kooks headers arent that expensive...?!?

There is a sponsor here having a sale on these headers...they dont list the swap headers in their thread, but Im sure they can do something for you?
