lsc coupes are very well designed. placing "aftermarket" headers doesn't really do much but cost you money. these cars are very fast as is, think... it was after all based on the Ford gt mustang engine and tranny. performance wise, as a mark 7 owner i wouldn't change anything.
LOL performance wise?...I think you mean "economically"
AnswerIn specific, yes, the vehicle did come with factory headers as well as true dual exhaust. AnswerOK...So Im assuming that by headers you mean aftermarket...all cars have "headers" aka exhaust manifolds. Changing the exhaust manifolds is a GREAT idea to add extra horsepower and torque to your Mark. One of the weakest links on the 5.0 motor is the exhaust. The factory exhaust manifolds on the 5.0 are tiny little tubes of metal that choke your motor from breathing. If youre thinking of doing ANY kind of horsepower adding upgrades, don't start anywhere else but with new exhaust and intake components (upper and lower). 1 5/8" headers are ideal. Equal or unequal length are good, longtubes are the best but require some extensive work for the average do-it yourselfer. In my opinion start with a good catback system (mufflers, H-pipe, etc.) before you go getting involved with new headers. Just think of your motor as needing to breathe easier to make more power. The 5.0 motor is such a dog compared to what it could be...even in a Mustang...trust me, I do this for a living...these guys that posted before me just must not like fast cars =) AnswerI agree with the last post. The headers on the Marks just like the Mustangs are tiny. After market headers as long as they are larger diameter will make a difference. I owned a Mark myself. You should really upgrade the hole system but I know alot of the time people don't have $300 to drop on a new system. Headers would be a good place to start. Down the road you may want to look into getting you exhaust ports matched to the diameter ao the headers as well. They are alot smaller, but I strongly sugguest you have this done by a professional shop.hell yea after market headers will add power, look at the baby headers that came with the car.
ANSWER
I have a fully worked out 91 LSC special edition black. Leave the stock exhaust headers! They are plenty to push anything that the engine can handle. Get rid of the "4" cats and replace with 2 high flows to keep it legal. Switch to an Ford Explorer intake manifold from the junk yard (will require custom hood work to fit underneath) And put in some 1.7 roller rockers. If youre gonna go that far, MSD ignition and high power coil is recommended. I also converted to a stick shift...and i eat mustangs up all the time
yes they all came with factory headers and no the white is not a limited edition.
Yes they do.
all engines have exhaust headers but the headers your thinking of are aftermarket performance headers, the ones on the 440 from the factory are made of cast iron.
It is recommended to remap most engines after installing performance parts. The benefit of remapping is getting the full benefit of the new exhaust headers.
Factory spec for exhaust manifold to head is 25 ft-lbs.
Depends on a few things such as if you are using aluminum heads & intake and headers, or the factory iron parts. If it is all factory, with the exhaust manifolds on it about 620-640 lbs. Substituting aluminum heads, intake, and headers saves about 75-80lbs.
== == It came with 245hp from the factory, but you can improve it with headers and a good intake, ignition upgrades.
Hooker Super comp edition, because the pipes won't interfere with steering link
You might want to double check, but GM was using "Header-Like" exhaust manifolds from the factory. If that's the case, you won't get much improvement by putting on headers.
yes, they will fit, no problem but they will not bolt up to the factory exhaust
ABout 161 hp out of the factory with mods such as exhaust headers and wide pipe with cold air intake its about 218.
On driver side, you will have to remove the steering assembly. With the passenger side you should only have to remove the factory manifold.
