Ford Repair: My 2001 cobra mustang, cobra mustang, bassani x pipe

Question
Hey I currently own a 2001 Cobra Mustang conv. I have installed the bassani X pipe in the mid and have flow master cat back system.  My question is i im looking into some headers for this application, What do you suggest?  I was looking at the BBk full length ceramic headers, will this connect properly with the Bassani X pipe i have installed?  What would i gain from shorty headers, compared to full length?

Thank You
Samuel

Answer
Samuel-

  Isn't the Bassanni Cobra X-pipe for "mid length" headers?  Maybe I'm thinking of another system, but if that's the case you'll need mid-length headers.  I think Bassanni's the only game in town for those.  Otherwise, the headers will have to fit the X-pipe style.  If it's for shorty headers, you'll need shorty replacements.  If they're for full length headers, you'll need full lengths.  Shortys vs. full lengths have a bit of a trade-off.  Shortys give better low end power and decent mid range flow while suffering a bit in the higher rpm range.  Full lengths will lose a bit of low end power but have more of a kick in the mid-upper rpm range.  If the car is pretty much stock with the exception of the exhaust, I'd stick with shortys.  hope this helps.
