anyone running the summit SUM-G9031 headers in their car??? i just ordered a set after i found out the hard way that mustang header will NOT work. i dont have a/c or p/s so i wont that to worry with, and it's a floor shift car so these should do the trick, correct? anyone else know....
i couldn't get the summit headers to work. sent them back. some of the others on here had the same problem. i'm using the hooker 6901's. fit great. good luck.
THANKS DON. I JUST CALLED SUMMIT BACK AND CHANGED MY ORDER FROM THE SUMMIT HEADERS TO THE HOOKER'S. ILL LET YA KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT
I am installing the Hooker elite headers right now on my car. They have a 3/8 flange and are 14 gauge steel that have a hi temp coating, fyi. They are bolted on and fit well, but it is a tight fit. I have not started the car yet. Here is a link to the Summit offering, http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=HED%2D88308&N=4294908331+400143+4294925080+4294908284+4294918680+115&autoview=sku
Wow ... I would say Hedman definitely ripped off Hooker with those headers ... The bends looks just about identical to Hooker 6901's .... Hedmans : And Hooker 6901 ...
That's Almost Identical.....well My Hookers Are Ordered(headers That Is) So I Cant Wait To Get Them In. Im Curious To See How Tight They Fit As Well
YUP, look the same. I tried a set of Patriot "clipster" headers . . . basically shorty headers, and they are WAY wrong. Too bad, cuz they looked really nice. I have never personally seen shorty headers on a Mav/Comet, so I don't know if any particular brand will work or not. I just ditched the idea and went with the long tubes. Seems like Shelby/tri Y headers would work. Ever seen them on a Mav?
I Had Thought About Trying The 'stock Headers' From A Late Model 5.0 Ho Like What's On My '94 Gt. Just By Looking At Them, They Look Like They Might Actually Work. Ill Prolly Try It On My 4door One Of These Days
It definitely will NOT work with any Fox body headers . . . dont bother trying. The shorties I got from Patriot were for 65-70 stangs. I think that they would NOT have fit the car they were intended for anyway. Looked like a bad design.
just remember on the hookers they go in from the bottom. put the car on jackstands as high as you can. the passenger side goes right in but on the drivers side you have to take the motormount bolt out and raise the engine a couple of inches. should go right in then.
ALSO . . . I always use Stage 8 locking header bolts; I have never had a header gasket blow with these fasteners. Worth every penny, IMO. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=STG%2D8913&N=4294908331+4294840126+115&autoview=sku
thanks for the tip. every long tube header i have ever put in has went in thru the bottom....especially the driver's side so i didnt figure this would be any different.
