right were the header joings into the down pipe

@MARINESARETHESHIT i found the problem to be a crack, since then i have replaced them with headers

[DIENAMICProductions]

how much do you think new headers for an 01 v6 would be

[ltspike12345]

@DIENAMICProductions with the v6 mustang you can use any header from a 94-04 how ever the 94-98 v6 had a better flowing and better designed version that doesnt crack. i watched some classifieds on the forums i go to and got a set for $54 shipped just waiting for them to get here. you can go with a set of long tubes between $200-$400 new or aftermarket shorties for about the same price. either way it'll "solve" the problem

yea i have the same thing man. but its on the driverside. how much did it cost to get it fixed?

[ltspike12345]

@DIENAMICProductions i pulled it my self and welded it but it has sence then cracked again. the only true way yo "fix" it is to buy headers off a 94-98 v6 or aftermarket headers

[hazingwhatever]

you might wanna tighten out the volts that go from the headers to the engine. That's what had to be done to mine and was good.

@ltspike12345 thanks man. lots of help!

[ltspike12345]

yeah considering carbs run under 10PSI usually and a EFI runs in the neighborhood of ~50PSI oil in the system would definitely be bad for the pump and injectors and besides i found and fixed it by pulling it and welding it

don't put in that much, and use marvel mystery oil and not regular oil.

my car is carbureted with a 400 cid big block.

it isn't easy to clog,

a fuel injection system might clog
