Great link here the exhaust guide on this site talks about single, duals , pipe size, mufflers, cats and tips. Lots of reading but covers alot on exhaust.

 

thanks but tried the link and it said page not found

 

headers you have tons of options. start by figuring out if you want to keep o2 sensors. if you're going to be changing the filters, doing some modding and other things, might be worth it for you to pick up a programmer. i have ceramic coated headers, 2 hi-flo cats, 2 gutted cats, and then dual out.

as far as the fans go, your truck runs cool now, but the current fan system can take alot of power away. with electric fans, it runs quieter, cooler, more efficient, and it frees up a ton of room under the hood.

also ya gotta decide on short or long tube headers

 

After checking out the link and my own research im wanting to go with ceramic headers, 2.5inch pipeing, an x pipe, would like to not have cats as my truck has 4 or atleast cut down to 2 high flow cats I just dont want a check engine light on due to any sensors missing or not reading right, 2 straight through mufflers, and I want the exit to be both sides either just after the cab or before the rear tires...as far as long vs short headers im thinking long? I have read short is more for high rpm vehicles mu truck runs just under 2000rmp at 65mph and never reaches over 3000rpm (that's including before shifting into any gear and im not a hard driver...most of the time) am I wrong about any of me decision including my long tube headers?

 

Go long tube.

And your not gonna be able to turn pipes Luton both sides in front of the tires, gas tank is there on the driverside. If you want them on both sides your basically limited to behind the rear tires only.

 

long tubes are the way to go. make sure of fitment. i need to edit my sig but i have gibson ceramic coated headers on my f150 and LOVE them. also, good luck on the header bolts plan on breaking at least 1

 

Not even right past the cab? I can go all the way back I just really dont like the look if I must ill leave them straight I dont dig the 45s

 

Hah well I got a go to guy for the instalation so thatll be his headache and any advice when it vones to cats and mufflers? What about my sensors

 

The gas tank is kinda long, just go look under your truck it'll give you a better idea.

 

True but where can I find some longtube ceramic headers the ones im finding are all shorties
