Theirs not a thing wrong with a Ranger header!!!! First of all, their stainless steel, second of all, they FIT, third, their CHEAP, forth, they will out last the car. Only thing you need to do is remove the stands off that allow Ford to use the same long bolts that the used on a cast iron manifold. Take them off and use short bolts. Looks much better! Most Pintos I've seen have WAY too big a pipe running off the header. Fine if you take it to 6000 rpm each time you shift, but no good when you leave a stop light at 1500 rpm. 2" pipe is all you need on a street driven Pinto. Cheap and many mufflers to pick from. And the junk yards are FULL of them at $30 to $50 each. Get the down pipe when you can, to use on your car. And best of all, you will not look and sound like a "RICER". And a Ranger header will fit in my wife's oven, so I can paint it with VHS and bake it at 400 degs to cure it. All in all, a winner!
