    On first look, they are fantastic until approach the installation. First, there are no any instruction what is the sequence in order to mount it in the car (for example I need to remove the power steering and steering box) but even then the headers can’t fit – they are hitting the engine OEM mounts (left one) so I needed to modify them). For the right header I removed the starter but again, I cannot put it inside, maybe the engine mounts should be removed?

    • SamSDHadmin

      Most header installations, regardless of the brand, require lifting the engine and shifting it to one side to mount the opposite header. Some vehicle applications allow for easier header installation, but a vehicle with factory shock towers will always present challenges. Header installations may include the removal or disconnection of other components. This is common for many vehicle applications.

      To clarify. If the contact with the mounts ocurred during the installation proces, read the comments in the above paragraph. If contact with the mounts occurs after bolting the headers to the engine, this is a separate issue. If someone has replaced the engine mounts over the last 50+ years, it is possible they are not OEM. All Sanderson Headers are designed for vehicles using factory engine and frame mounts unless otherwise specified. The FF393 header set will not contact OE mounts on an original Mustang with the FE engine.

      Starter clearance is a common issue when installing headers, particularly in certain vehicle or engine applications. Ford FE engines are prone to starter clearance problems, which is why we recommend using an aftermarket starter, such as the Powermaster 9500-series. We explain starter issues in this article:

Header Warranty

Sanderson Header WarrantyLimited 5-Year General Warranty

Sanderson Street Rod Headers strives to supply our customers with the highest quality parts and services in the street rod industry. In keeping with this, we warrant and will repair or replace, at our option, after an inspection in our facility, any of our products that we found to have failed due to defects in either material or workmanship.  This warranty is activated by the return of the Warranty Card enclosed with every pair of headers. It is effective for FIVE YEARS * from the date of purchase, as indicated on the original invoice.

This Warranty does not cover products that fail due to improper motor tuning, alteration, disassembly, or damage caused by racing, misuse, neglect, abuse, improper installation, and/or accident or when used on applications that were not designed or approved. We are specifically not responsible for the costs of removal, installation, transportation, destruction of other components, inconvenience, loss of time, or other personal damages or for any other associated costs, including the application of aftermarket coatings applied by others. Sanderson Street Rod Headers shall not be liable for any and all consequential damages occasioned by the breach of any written or implied warranty pertaining to this sale in excess of the purchase price of the product(s) as found on the original invoice.

WRAPPING HEADERS WITH THERMAL TAPE VOIDS THE WARRANTY.

* Extremely compact header designs that locate the collector close to the exhaust ports are very sensitive to engine tuning. Improper air/fuel mix or timing of ignition and/or valvetrain can cause early failure due to excessive heat. For this reason,  part numbers CC2 and CC3 are offered with a two-year warranty period only. This includes header sets that utilize one of these headers as part of the set (part numbers CC4 and CC14, for example). The compact header side will hold a 2-year warranty. All other Warranty conditions apply.

Installation Notes

  1. The Patented Leak-Free Design on Sanderson Headers provides the only leak-free flange design on the market … Do Not Attempt To Use Flange Gaskets! The raised flange on tube-style Sanderson Headers will buckle the gasket during tightening and cause a leak!  It is only OK to use a header gasket on the cast-series header sets (QP1000 and QP2000) Click here for the header installation procedure.
  2. Sanderson Headers are NOT emissions legal on pollution-controlled motor vehicles. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to verify local regulations for compliance.
  3. Wrapping Sanderson Headers with ANY thermal tape voids the header warranty. Our Aluminized Ceramic Coating is the best thermal protection for your headers and is available for every Sanderson Header. For additional information on why using header wraps is a problem, please read this tech article by Century Performance Center which addresses thermal coatings and header wraps.

Ford FE Starter

If the vehicle has the larger Ford “coffee can” starter (common on convertibles but found on other applications) or other larger or incompatibly clocked starters, it must be replaced with the appropriately sized starter or preferably an aftermarket mini-starter.

A Powermaster #9506 or compatible mini starters is a good choice for an aftermarket replacement.
