any reason you want a single out? if you get a dual, you could always go to a y-pipe and it should open your options up some

how much is kinda cheap?

Mustangs Unlimited has one for about $220, no idea on the quality but that was what I was thinking of going with when exhaust time comes.

If your thinking real cheap start surffing ebay and hopeyou find one. Other wise buck up and consider what ever you buy an investment in that cars future. I'm not saying go out and drop 6 hundred on the headers but expect to pay 2 and some change for an ok set, more for quality. theres no point and spending a couple hundred on a header you plan on replacing in the future. If your not ready to make the investment go pull a recycled manifold and use that till you are. I originally wanted some of mike headers with the jet hot coating from classic inlines but at 400 dollars i wasn't so sure. I ended up settling with a set that doesn't have any name brand and crumby welds for about 250. Although i'm sure i will make them last a few years i wish i would have spent the extra on something quality.

I bought the MU chrome hearders ($20 extra), and found them quite good.
