I remember the system you are talking about. The headers themselves are a PIA to remove (all GT exhaust headers IMO). However the cat delete system is pretty simple and can be completed, in your garage, in 2 or 3 hours.

NO.......

what i am talking about are the straight headers only. these headers allow you to still use the rectangular borla muffler. these "are not" the headers with the cone shaped borla mufflers attatched to them. i am not sure if cats will fit with these headers or not but the ford racing website used to have two different types of header systems. one was "without" the cone shaped borla mufflers and one was with them......


'Quote from a post on the subject on another thread a while back:

"... if I understand correctly the (two) systems are as follows:

1. Ford GT Long Tube Headers M-9430-GT + Ford GT Performance Muffler Kit M-5230-GT

2. Ford GT Rear Exit Headers M-9430-GTX"

the part # that i want is the following > M-9430-GT

according to the Ford racing website i can no longer get this part > http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=8614

according to the website you cannot use cats with these headers but you can use the Borla Rectangular muffler which is what i have and what i want to use with these headers.

does anybody know where i can buy a set of these headers new???

Just to let you know, that is exactly what I have installed, with the Borla muffler, and all jetcoat powdercoated. The sound is immense, but if you want, you can drive them acceptably silent at lower revvs...

The direct thru pipes will get you directly to jail.... :wink I heard them when they were on Joe's (the TT pioneer car we all know of) GT, and they were just unbearably loud..

You will love this setup. Good luck in finding them !

I did buy them new, but - honestly - don't remember what they went for... The powdercoating was done by the GTG royals here, the GT guys.. :wink

For the configurations of the Ford FRPP exhaust systems, see -

http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=192875#post192875

The original prices from FRPP were:

M-9430-GT: $2,510.00 ($2137.50 - http://www.capaldiracing.com/isell3/product.php?id=305)

M-5230-GT: $2,700.00 ($2,294.25 - http://www.capaldiracing.com/isell3/product.php?id=301)

M-9430-GTX: $4,395.00 ($4,025.00 - http://www.capaldiracing.com/isell3/product.php?id=307)

Leo Capaldi Racing still lists all of them on their Website (http://www.capaldiracing.com/), with the prices highlighted in red above. I don't know if they have any, but you can check with them.

^^^^^^ Ralphie - i called Capaldi and they are all sold out of these headers. does anybody know if any other company builds headers for the Ford GT and do their Headers connect to the Rectangular Borla Muffler part # M-5230-GT

JBA comes closest to meeting that requirement.

I will gladly answer any and all questions

Certainly subjectively speaking I can share that the system I have available is phenominal; fit, looks, and the sound aka sweet music.

Takes care

Thank you as I have been very busy making certain a few more gals are ready for the Rally however I am never too busy to assist in any way I can.

Email, PM, or call me and I will afford you whatever time is needed.

All the best

Shadowman
