Seems fine for what you're looking for, my only suggestion would be to buy them from a seller with feedback better than 96%..

You will hear a differance, and feel a slight differance, not alot but maybe 5-7 hp is what i'd gues, i just bought some just like those off e-bay happy with them, Ford did a good job on thier cast iron exhust, so not alot of gain but worth 150.00 i'd say.

Yes,they do flow better.You can tell by throttle sensitivity.I had jba headers on for over a year and took them off becasue i may sell.The sound difference was tremendous by my tuned ears after this long.Don't know for certain about these knockoffs,but prolly just as well for function at least.I did see at least one review in there for 4.0 that said fit was great.It appears the complaints are all late ships from item not in stock so they take orders regardless it seems.

for $150, they are worth it. only thing i would be concerned with is the fitment.

Well I have been considering getting headers to. Sorry for thread jacking but do they add a whole lot of noise because I dont need to much more I just want the horsepower. JBA rates their headers at 17 Horses and 16 ftlbs so I would only assume that these would do close to the same. That was in the March Mustang and Fast Fords

I would bet that they are all made by the same company, regardless of the stamp on the side, or lack there of, mine were bought from e-bay off brand, fitment was as good as any i have seen, you will want to remove the studs from the heads to install them then reinstall the studs, the fitent is tight enough to want to save yourself some grief, dont try to just slide the headers over the studs it is just a pain, remove the studs and have fun, takes about 1.5hours if youtake your time. not a lot more noise,but a better exhust note
