K-Manifolds
When we compare these numbers with the baseline figures, there's no gain in horsepower and just a single lb-ft of torque. Since we know from experience the K-manifolds do produce some power, we can only conclude that our 2-inch tubing and quiet passenger-car mufflers are holding things back.

Full-Length Headers
With the full-length headers in place, the numbers were as follows:
| RPM | HP | TQ |
| 3,000 | 133.8 | 234.3 |
| 3,200 | 145.3 | 238.5 |
| 3,400 | 155.5 | 240.3 |

| 4,800 | 190.8 | 208.8 |
The next exhaust test we have...
The next exhaust test we have planned for our '67 Mustang are these Hedman headers (PN 88300). They're a bargain at $134.88 per set. We had them left over from a different project we'd been working on. These headers fit only automatic-transmission cars.
Here's our '67 Mustang fastback...
Here's our '67 Mustang fastback on the Dynojet rollers at Superior Automotive during the baseline tests. The car has a replacement 302 and an AOD four-speed automatic transmission. The engine is equipped with the standard log-type exhaust manifolds found on both A- and C-code Mustangs. Two-inch pipe runs from the manifolds back to generic passenger-car mufflers that are very quiet.
Although they're available...
Although they're available from several different sources, this bracket comes from Hedman as PN 20120 and is $19.69. It's a must-have item for putting long-tube headers onto a car with power steering. The bracket allows the anchored end of power-steering ram to be lowered, creating clearance for the headers.
