i got a 5.4 4x4 and i am looking for a good set of headers i dont want to spend more than $450 i want the hp and tourq improvement in the 1500 to 2500 rpm range this is the rpm i am usuay in offroading does anyone have any info for me any info would be helpfull they need to have thik flanges for the abuse they will be put thro thanks

 

My guess is that you will get a few comments telling you that if you can't fit long tubes on your truck (and on a 4X4 you can't) that it isn't worth the effort. I for one have liked the shorties on my 4X4 and feel they have worked well along with the other mods. Mine are ceramic coated JBA's and a fairly well built piece though you won't find them for $450. They were easy to install and I've had no problems with them.

 

thanks for the info, you are right i cant find any long tube headers for it at all only shorties, could you actauly feel a defreince and a mpg diffrence?

 

Yes, the difference you feel will be in the mid to upper RPM range. Picked up 1 m.p.g.

 

there are a set of long tube headers for a 4x4 but they're about 1,000 bucks.i forgot exactly who makes em but you can find it with a search on here

Way cool, though their not ceramic coated. I don't think they meet the stated budget $$$'s either.

 

I've got a set of Pace Setters. They're certainly not top of the line, and they won't give you quite as much power as say, JBA's but for the $175 I paid out of JCWhitney, they're pretty damn good. I'd recommend getting Fel-Pro gaskets for them if you decide to buy, as the gaskets they send will wear out in a year.

I have the Titanuim JBA's. Great quality header kit. The gaskets are top of the line metal inpregnated Mr. Gasket gaskets. I had a Ford mechanic help put them on, and he could not believe the quality of the kit, gaskets, bolts etc. In fact we didn't even use any sealants just a little anti-seize on the bolts, and no leaks. I paid $650 shipped for them. Nice performance increase also.

 

thanks everyone for the info i have been talking to some of my mustang freinds and they all seem to like jba's i think i will save my money for a set of those unless anyone has some better sugestions thanks again for all the help

 

anyone else got some good ideas?

 

where did you get them? i cant find just stainless steal JBA headers less then like 700!
