Installing JBA Long Tube Headers on a 2011 Shelby Cobra Mustang GT500: The Unexpected Challenges! 😳

So you wanna install long tube headers on your Shelby Cobra Mustang GT500. Brandon was tasked with doing just that with a header kit from JBA Performance Exhaust. This was the first time he's had to install headers on a GT Mustang but he explains every step he takes and the problems areas that will be a challenging for anyone doing it themselves.

To think, we used to complain if we had to loosen the motor mounts (yay corvettes!) to install headers. Now I believe stock exhaust is not too restrictive. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Imagine trying to do this in your driveway!?

[@brandonwelsh2743]

Hard pass lol

[@joshuagies4900]

Sounds great, but what a PITA!

[@WildBillFlysRC]

This has to be easier than putting headers in a Mazda PU! lololz. I'll watch and see.

[@Scootertin]

Wish me luck guys lol I install my Kooks tomorrow 😬

My friend from Canada knows how spoiled we are on the west side of the states as far as rust goes. Love looking under my vehicles and seeing zero rust.

Where did they buy the flanges to connect with the header when you were unboxing the small box ?

[@larryhall6416]

Well I know that you can do it. I would take a vacation and bring it to you. 😅😂

[@mserica6487]

Wow you guys actually get dirty... I feel like I'm watching real mechanics. :)

[@UWrenchTV]

It's not a good days work unless you're covered in grease😜

[@fokker1138]

16:00 Just like installing a header in an S2000. You have to remove the passenger mount to get a one-piece installed.

[@brandonwelsh2743]

That would be so much easier on a s2000

[@fokker1138]

@@brandonwelsh2743 Absolutely. You had zero room with that Mustang.

[@garyworokevich2524]

The lesson learned here is........do not screw around at home......go to U-wrench.......or in my case my buddies fully equipped shop.

[@UWrenchTV]

As always Thanks, Gary!

How much does Brandon spend on hair gel & hair wax

[@Samlilly2]

The GT500 is in the roughest condition I have seen one. Like how the hell are the valve covers flaking off that bad?? Does this have 300k miles? Mine has almost 100k..

👍👊

The outside of rhe car looks really clean. Why does the engine bay look like thia thing has been four wheeling down the trails? 😆

[@UWrenchTV]

Brandon mentioned briefly at the beginning that the car doesn't look like the car has lived in Tucson for it's whole life. Must be a transplant from a northern state with snowy winters and road salts.

Was in Florida and then Texas…to Colorado and now Arizona
