Best Long Tube Header?

cajunboy2208 · #1 Fri, May 21st, 2010, 05:24 PM

Just wondering what the best of the best is. One catch. Needs to be bolt on.
This will probably be my next performance mod. But will not come around until at least Christmas.
I have some gadgets such as subs and a new head unit that will come first.
So I am just trying to get my homework done thoroughly before I make my final dicision.
Thanks fellas

I would try the dynatech header kit from troyerperformance.com

I had a set on 07 F-150 and i loved them.

Price: $1395.00

Holy Hell! Didn't really want to change out the cats and piping. That is just extra cost.
I thought $700 max for a set would be plenty since I love Elderbrock and they are roughly 4-500 depending on the coating.

Any problems with em? Bolted right up and all? And any noticeable acceleration?
From what I am hearing the JBAs are causing no problems with bolt up on the exhaust.

How long have you had them. I wanted a set for my 09 since the set i mentioned isnt sure if they will fit. I just want to know if they are good quality.

I just want the headers not Y-pipe, i guess ill get some high flow cats somewhere else.

Do a search for OBX.
They are about the same $ as pacesetter.
Pay attention to application and fitment.
2wd kits are different from 4wd.
Peace!

OBX S.S. Headers 04-08 Ford F-150 2WD 5.4L V8 (No Cats) - Sparktec Motorsports
Found those. They have good feedback, and are way cheap. Still not sure if they are going to directly bolt-on or not. Can't find anyone saying such.
Guess I'll keep searching.
I really like proven name-brand stuff though.
I have used OBX on my import cars, because they were so cheap and I really didn't care what I put on those ricer things, and they did alright...
Just not 100% into OBX for my baby
