looks like a do it yourself remake of a ford racing shorty.

Pretty much all of the shorty headers are the same design, the only difference is quality of build materials and welds. Your guess is as good as anybody's as to who made it.

The welds look pretty clean though... Just inspect it all throughout for cracks and have it fixed/ welded.

Yes you're right the welding job looks amazing. No cracks found w/so ever.

Its not a FR one, but there are several others it could be, but it looks to be in nice shape. Good find !!! go ahead and put it on.

JBA?

 

[boca202]

Yeap, seems like an OBX, anybody knows how a shorty perform w/an ORP?

 

[homegrown2nr]

I have a 4-1, but I think that 4-2-1 is superior. Best of both worlds + Steeda dynos show the best gains.

JBA?

No way in hell.

 

[homegrown2nr]

^^ 10-4 on the "No way in hell"

 

[boca202]

Wow, so that piece that looks like an orp is actually a cat?

 

[Peregrine]

The cat looks pretty close to the cat that Random Tech sells.

 

[boca202]

Yeap. You're right! so i wont get a cel right?

Yeap, seems like an OBX, anybody knows how a shorty perform w/an ORP?

You'll see minimal, if any gains running a shorty 4-1 and ORP over a stock manifold and ORP. If anything, it'll just change your torqe and HP curves, but your overall will be the same, the difference will be the point on the powerband where your engine makes peak output.

Damn!!!!! it took me like 6hrs to install this thing, i had to delete the egr hose cuz the lenght of this fixed hose was to small, then we had to put a stud on the block, where one of the bolt use to go, cuz the header base seem to small and one of the holes was too short, any way, is up and running, a little loud though, i gues i have to wrap a couple of things to save them from the heat, any ideas?
