OEM Ford T-bird headers

Today a friend told me about a set of headers for sale. I'm told there made by ford, and were pulled from a 96 or 97 thunderbird 3.8.

Has anyone had any experience with these? Is there a worthwhile increase in upgrading from the stock manifolds to these headers? I've never heard of them.

Any imput is greatly appreciated. THanks

Tom is right those are factory Mustang headers.

They did have tubular headers on the 96-97 3.8 T-Bird. They are not worth your time or money as they are actually smaller than ported factory SC manifolds.

You could go the route of the mustang headers because they do have a nice sized collector (2.5") but they will not make that much of a difference power iwse than ported factory manifolds. There are still a few guys making 350+ RWHP that have ported factory manifolds.

Use the search function on this site and you will see a ton of threads about this whole subject.
