The best for a fairly stock Mark would be 03/04 Cobra manifolds. Cheap to get and they bolt right on. They will not include AIR but will have an EGR port. No cats either.

Who cares about cats!

Actually the only cat that will be a problem would be the driver's side. The passenger side will bolt up. The driver's side would need a cut and flange added.

Kook headers are over-priced and pointless unless ya got an Eaton! Not to mention you would have the same cat problem, actually worse.

My point being is that they don't directly bolt up. :D

How do you know he doesn't have an Eaton? :)

I was wondering if you ran Cobra manifolds, would a stock or aftermarket Cobra X/H pipe fit?

It seems to Lonnie was forced to run a stock Cobra H pipe setup on his car to pass inspection. I wonder what kind of fitment issues there are?

It won't "bolt" up because the cobra H doesn't fit between our body/transmission. Our chassis is shaped different.

On any header you install, you'll have to "modify" the egr tube to make it work, or just delete the EGR all together. At that point you'll have to get a tune to turn of the EGR in the ECU.

Oor just delete the EGR all together. At that point you'll have open your ProRacer Package and tune to turn off the EGR in your tune.
