The headers also have provisions for the front O2 sensors welded into the collectors after the merge.
The headers come with this cool mid-pipe with a siamesed X merge. The merge improves bottom end and mid-range torque and gives the engine a smoother sound.
The first step in installing the Hooker Blackheart headers is to remove the floor reinforcing plate at the bottom of the car that covers the tunnel where the exhaust and driveshaft run through.
Then unbolt the mid-pipes that go from the downpipes to the exhaust.

With the future intake manifold, will you also install a larger TB to match too?
As for tune, HP Tuners? Or something else?
We are keeping the stock throttle body for now. We will be using Church Automotive Testing for our Tuning with HP tuners.
I have a set of Hooker Blackheart Shorty headers for my 08 Mustang sitting on my workbench. The flange is warped on one of them, I am dropping them off at a shop to be sanded flat this week.
Did you guys have the same experience? Or check the flanges for flatness?
It’s kinda weird because they are water jet cut. Not likely to warp as is possible with plasma or Laser. They are pretty thick to warp from welding as well.
What are you going to use for plug wires ? My ppg on the driver side in the back was hard to get back on I think I might need 45° plug wires.
we were using oem with no issues.
