This is what I call a real mechanic no lift just some jack stands and on your back, I did the k-member on my 09 Shelby this way it took awhile but got it on, keep up the good work.

[@PinksGarage]

I have slightly upgraded, I bought a quick jack.

[@fakenews4734]

My favorite part is the jackstand on the oil pan. jesus

[@PinksGarage]

Yes, I'm lifting the motor. That is where you place it to do so.

[@rescuemepookie5256]

" SO its definitely a lil biter louder...cold starts are a lil bit louder..Pans left....I'm not even sure you can hear me over this...pans left and pause LMFAO...."haha good stuff man...your a champ...give me confidence to install these my damn self.

[@PinksGarage]

happy to help

[@emeraldnotch7758]

Nice to see a video! Keep after it!

[@PinksGarage]

Thanks. Have one more I am editing now.

[@MrRenegadeRonin]

Hell yeah brother. Thanks again for helping me with the lighting on the ST before I moved out here to SC. I ended up selling her in November and getting a Mustang too. This video will be a huge help when that time comes as well. Keep the content coming.

[@PinksGarage]

Which Mustang did you get? Where in SC?

[@MrRenegadeRonin]

Pinks Garage Columbia SC. Went with the 19 GT PP1 w/MT82 as we discussed.

[@BigStickStangs]

Man that bolt looked like a tough one. Lots of work! Great video!

[@PinksGarage]

Yes it was a pain

[@JorgePerez-je1bi]

great video! I was wondering What tool did u use to take out the bolt that are attached to the air conditioner

[@DonPatr0L]

You should put a different title on this video so more people find it. LMR and CJ have good videos but this a good in-depth one for people to consider

[@PinksGarage]

Not really sure how to make it a better title. Open to suggestions.

[@DonPatr0L]

Calling it something like Ford Mustang GT Long Tube Header Install will get you more hits when people search for it on Google or KZbin. More views/subscribers. Think if someone goes to Google, types mustang header install, this is likely to come up in their search efforts.

[@PinksGarage]

Advice taken. Appreciate help like this. Thank you.

[@darinfoxcroft1651]

Definitely only reason I found this video here 4 years later!!

[@mywest8872]

Thanks for the video! I want to install them on my car my bolts are really rusted and I’m worried about snapping them.

[@PinksGarage]

I was lucky mine weren't rusted. It is a pain either way.

[@Smokedmeatwad]

do i need a tune after long tube header install?

[@nyongtv6028]

Wow this is just a great video! Very informative!!! Gave me a lot confidence on doing the install myself. Compared to other videos with all those video transitions; this is way different, this gives the viewer a wider view of where to work at instead of a closeup view from other yt vids (LMR, etc.)! Having a wider view really shows where to find the parts to remove/work on. Really like the video!l man! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@PinksGarage]

I appreciate the comment. I look at what I would want to see and try and film it.

[@nyongtv6028]

@@PinksGarage what are the tools you used to install? Don’t want to go rewatch the whole part 1 & 2 lol and thanks in advance 🙏🏽

[@PinksGarage]

@@nyongtv6028 I do not remember. That was a year ago. You will need a good socket mostly metric. Gear wrenches help. And just basic tools.

[@nyongtv6028]

I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I love any tricks you can give me!

[@jonatorres0334]

How did you take off the ground coming from the alternator to the mounting bracket on that one that you stripped is it just mine that it’s connected to?

[@PinksGarage]

Honestly, I don't remember. It's been over 3 years.

[@GamerTreasures]

On american muscle for the kooks they removed the black plastic oil tray and the k-member (yours looks gold in the video) Do you think removing these is a must if easy? Will have my car on a lift so I'm thinking everything will be quite a bit easier. Thanks for making your video, Always like to watch a few before I do my own work just to make everything easier.

[@PinksGarage]

Removing those things wouldn't hurt, just takes longer

[@GamerTreasures]

@@PinksGarage Awesome! Thanks Man.

[@caleblesfarra9569]

how did you get the passenger front top bolt out? I've been trying to get mine out for 4 hours lol

[@PinksGarage]

It was a combination of raising and lowering the engine and wobble heads

[@jedediahorr9658]

Are you getting any false knock with those primaries pretty much touching each other? How have the headers held up? Pretty noticeable difference on the butt dyno?

[@PinksGarage]

No knock that I have noticed. Headers are doing great 2 plus years later. It is also now running a 5th Gen Whipple 3L SC. Have a full custom exhaust from collectors back. 900 RWHP.

[@jedediahorr9658]

@@PinksGarage nice! Sounds killer. I’m looking into going with an ESS centri sc. will just be starting out on a big pulley until I get return style fuel system so I can pulley down and run e85.

[@PinksGarage]

@Jedediah Orr Nice the ESS is a great kit. If I didn't get the whipple for such a good deal, I would probably have an ESS

[@black_buzzard_3029]

What is that blue tool that’s hoisting the engine up? I been looking for it.

[@PinksGarage]

Its a bottle jack.

[@Monalissa5.0]

Hey brother, I have a question for the headers that connected the mid pipe. What bolt did you use to make both of them join together?

[@PinksGarage]

I'm pretty sure they were 7/16th by 3" stainless. They have been on there for 3 years.

[@Monalissa5.0]

Thank you brother

[@robertomorales5347]

Long headers can be used with stock pipes? Or do I need to change them too?

[@PinksGarage]

Originally, I had them with stock pipes.

[@josecuevas4948]

I'm currently installing headers on my 14 GT I'm having trouble taking the top nuts on the passenger side manifold. I know you didn't show it and I was wondering What and how did you squeeze anything in there

[@PinksGarage]

I lifted the motor slightly and used a combination of racheting wrenches and sockets with wobble adapters and extensions.

[@PinksGarage]

Also, I'm not sure the differences between the S197 and S550

[@josecuevas4948]

@@PinksGarage I have a AC line im the way of one of the top bolts and its really messing me up

[@PinksGarage]

@@josecuevas4948 then you may need to lower the motor

[@carmob7499]

Mad props man for doing those headers on jack stands . Iv'e heard there a bitch to do . I had Livernois motorsports install mine with the Whipple build ..

[@PinksGarage]

they are very much a bitch to do. I put off installing them for a year. I would love to do a Whipple or any other forced induction build.

[@carmob7499]

Pinks Garage a Blown Coyote will change your life . I’m Blown away at the power band of this car 🚗.

[@jacobsanchez4136]

How did you take out the very front top motor mount bolt on the passenger side ? I can't get to it

[@PinksGarage]

it has been so long. I know I had to raise and lower the motor to get to all of them. also I have a ton of different tools

[@jacobsanchez4136]

@@PinksGarage I got it I had to raise the motor and use a swivel wrench

[@brianrowlison6080]

After 4 years, have you had any problems after reusing the OEM studs and nuts on the headers?

[@PinksGarage]

No, I haven't, but It hasn't been driven much in the last 2 years. Had a whipple installed and now down with clutch issues

[@brianrowlison6080]

Thanks! I’m installing a set of Kooks on my 2014 and trying to decide if I want to reuse the studs and nuts or buy the locking header bolts.

[@wadeanderson9032]

Did it make anymore hp that you could tell..what size did you have 1 7/8 are 1 3/4 and how are they holding up

[@PinksGarage]

1 7/8 and there was a slight pickup in power

[@wadeanderson9032]

@@PinksGarage thank you..Did you get a tune

[@PinksGarage]

Not after installing them

[@TheChiefJudgeDredd]

What would I expect a shop to charge for a header install?

[@PinksGarage]

I have no idea anymore. Used to be in the $500 range

[@Sunlitgryphon32]

Did you re use all the stock studs and nuts?

[@PinksGarage]

I actually don't remember. But I am pretty sure I used the stock ones.

[@Sunlitgryphon32]

@@PinksGarage heck yeah, the reason I asked is I went with jba long tubes. I haven't got them installed yet but they sent me two different set of bolts with them. I just feel like removing all those header studs to put in bolts would be alot of not needed work..

[@NorthernMustangs]

Sounds amazing and what effort in that tight space. Definitely not clostrophobic

[@PinksGarage]

Thanks. It was a complete pain doing that.

[@rigoalbiter6955]

Did you have any issues with exhaust leaks?

[@PinksGarage]

No I didn't

[@tas_nocturnal7187]

Did you have to dent the driver side?

[@PinksGarage]

Had to dent both sides. Driver for steering, passenger side for transmission removal.

[@david999938]

Looks like a pain in the ass

[@PinksGarage]

It was. Also now thinking about going back to the stock shorties with cat deletes. The longtubes make it real hard to get the trans in and out.

[@haxuall]

How’s the eBay headers been?

[@PinksGarage]

Pretty good. No issues so far.

[@dayofleo8550]

Link to the mid pipe and headers?

[@PinksGarage]

I don't have the link anymore. I bought them over 2 years ago.

[@marshalleng1933]

Holy shit I’m glad I’m smart enough to use air tools!

[@PinksGarage]

You use the tools you have.
