patriot tri y's 65-70 mustang with 302

i was looking at a pair of patriot tri y's in the jegs catalog they fit a 65-70 mustang. does anyone run these or know if they fit or have any clearance problems in my mav? any info would be appreciated

 

i don't know about them but most headers that do not say for a maverick do not fit. a lot the even say maverick do not fit. do a search on here for heders and you can see the ones that do fit.

 

hooker 6901's fit great. the flowtech ones that you can buy from Advance Auto seem to fit great as well. i have seen them on about 4 local cars and so far no-one has had any clearence issues

 

Attached is a pic of my Patriot Tri-Y experiment.
The passenger side fit fine.
The driver's side was obviously in conflict with the steering.
You cannot tell from the pic, but it was also in conflict with the clutch linkage.

So, NO, they don't fit.

 

ouch that suck well i guess it took care of the clearance problem for ya. well i go a different route thanks for the info

 

Yeah...
You are right though.
Alot of stuff listed for Stangs fit Mavericks even if they aren't specifically stated.
But then Don is right about some parts that fit Stangs and list for a Maverick too, don't work on a Mav.
It's really a buyer beware situation.
You did right to ask though.
I asked before I bought mine, no one knew, so I decided to be the guniea pig.

I turned my wheel hard to dent the tube, hoping it would not crush much.
But it crushed at least 75%, and that tube supported 2 cylinders, so it wasn't good.
I felt like it was choking it off (duh!), the car felt weak and made funny popping noises. So off they came.
I had used 6201 Hookers before, and knew they fit great.
I even had a set laying. But I was trying to go stealth and keep the car stock looking. The Tri-Ys definately did that better than LTs, but I was left without a choice. I surely wasn't going to keep manifolds on it.

 

Forgot to mention...
The headers could be modified to work if you had the inclination.
Those two secondary tubes (1 3/4") could be replaced with different bends in that area. I just didn't have the inclination to do so myself.
There is plenty of room to play with if you had some mandrel bent tube and a welder.

 

ill probably go with the hookers summits got some that they say will fit but the hookers are only 50 bucks more and they are probably a whole lot better quality.
