Default Speed Engineering Fox swap headers?

Anyone running the Speed Engineering Mustang LS swap headers? Thinking about ordering a set, but was wanting to see if anyone is running them already.

Sorry hard to really see anything but they went on fairly easy with no modifications to anything. I made my own steering shaft for my manual rack. I don't think one with the rag joint would fit between the tubes but I may be wrong.

Perfect!!! Your good then. Also, if your using a conversion harness the o2 sensor harness will reach. No extensions required.

Here's a shot of how they exit the bottom. I think you'll like them.

They appear to hang a bit low but the price is right. Dynatechs are double the money and don't have 02 bungs but fit well.

I run some on my notch. I got a Team Z k-member though instead of AJE, but they still fit. Had to hit the bottom of the car with a BFH cause it hit right at the exit end of the header on the drivers side but they went. Can't beat it for the $$

I don't think they could be any higher. The collecter is in line with the rest of the exhaust which runs really close to the floor of the car.

Just looks like a lot of room between 3" pipe and floor, could just be in the pic. Box 3

i have a set on my notch. they fit great! i have the Aje k-member and rear crossmember..one thing to note...if you are using the stock mount location for rear crossmember and a th400, on d.s. side..there was no-way i could get my pipe to come straight back as i see in the pics...i had to use an x-pipe to turn away from the mount and its still tight.. that is with 3" x-pipe...i will try to get some pics...i havent finished the rest of the x-pipe for other reasons but the front is done and it all seems to fit nice and tight to floor...those headers are nice pieces especially for the money
