Long tube Headers install and tune from Lund! | 2013 Mustang Boss 302!

Doing a header install with a floor jack and stands is no joke. This takes the cake for the most laborious and time consuming things that I’ve done. Overall, I’m incredibly happy with how the car sounds now and to be rid of the awful side pipe rattle.

Nice to see you stuck with your car through the troubles. She's a keeper. You won't regret it in your later years.

[@ManuaLiberty]

I figured I’m just as likely to get another car with equal or worse problems. But I appreciate it, that’s a purty LS car ya got!

[@mr.bosstang8363]

Nothing but respect brother. You doing this job pretty much on your own it’s dope. I’m going back checking your vids.sounds sick!!

[@ManuaLiberty]

Means a lot man, nothing good comes easy. Appreciate ya!

[@mr.bosstang8363]

@@ManuaLiberty I want to do a full exhaust for mine but sucks to find people to do proper tunes up here. I found some spots In NJ that I have to check out we’ll see

[@ManuaLiberty]

Only thing left I wanna change at some point is maybe go back to a H pipe, last track day I went to they were saying I was towards the higher end on the decibel limit so I’ll probably leave the mufflers alone. I don’t envy you on living further north I know emissions are stricter up that way, be sure to post up on here man!

[@mr.bosstang8363]

@@ManuaLiberty you right about that. I have the MRT H pipe you might want to try those they give a nice deep tone. One I decide what I’m going to do I’ll definitely post.

[@DiablitoSpeedz]

The works man ! Lund has been very good to me.

[@ManuaLiberty]

Absolutely! I actually had a SCT X4 and decided to go with the Nguage/Lund route.

[@DiablitoSpeedz]

@@ManuaLiberty yeah i hear they are only tuning those right ?

[@ManuaLiberty]

Yessir, it’s only HPTuners and Nguage to my knowledge.

[@BrailsfordsRides]

Nice some go fast parts

[@ManuaLiberty]

More like some “go less slower” parts 🤣

[@eight16garage]

Good job man and nice video! Gotta say, I don't envy you when it comes to installing the headers. Not fun.

[@ManuaLiberty]

Appreciate ya! I wouldn’t ever do it again unless I had a way to lift the car enough to drop the whole subframe out.

[@eight16garage]

@@ManuaLiberty LOL, yep I feel your pain.

[@TheManic.5-OH]

Man, im debating on even trying to attmept this job on jackstands. No in my town wants to do it for me either. If i do im going to tackle it this weekend. I already bought the damn headers tho, thats the thing. .

[@ManuaLiberty]

Man do I feel that. Overall the actual difficulty isn’t bad? I say that lightheartedly but it’s more time consuming than anything. S197s were never designed around the DOHC. If you have the extra $ it’s worth it to buy aftermarket motor mount brackets to not have to fight them on the install. They’re big, bulky and in the way. Took me 2 weekends due to working thru the weekdays

[@TheManic.5-OH]

​​@YellowHammerGarage the motor mounts is not a bad idea at all! Wish I would've thought about that sooner... how the heck did you get all the bolts torqued is what I want to know? I started the header job, ive got them up in the car now and about to try and get more done this morning after I leave work

[@ManuaLiberty]

@@TheManic.5-OH The mounts are for sure a pain but a lot of the bolts either got another cheater wrench on it or someway to get some extra torque until it felt right. Didn’t see any way to torque them to spec without having the motor out of the car

[@TheManic.5-OH]

@YellowHammerGarage dammit, that's what I was afraid of 🥵 I suppose I'll just have to mark each nut and count the turns on a few that I can reach easily, and go from there. Hopefully It works... thanks dude!

[@ManuaLiberty]

@@TheManic.5-OH it’s no easy task for sure. Best of luck to you and you’re welcome! 👊🏻

[@HandSolo1]

That Lund tune, sounded like it had a chop to it.

[@ManuaLiberty]

It absolutely did, I got a ghost cam tune as well as normal idle.

[@HandSolo1]

How’s the drivability with that?

[@ManuaLiberty]

I would say mild. Not quite something I would want to have 100% for city (stop and go) traffic.

[@BrailsfordsRides]

You ditched the Boss midpipe ey?

[@ManuaLiberty]

Yessir I did. I’m not a fan of H pipes and the right side pipe had a awful rattle at 5k+
