JBA, or Bassani. Someone who has ceramic or Jet hot coatings and made of stainless. I've also heard Dynatech, who make long tube plus a crossover w/ 2 cats for 4x4's as well.

I will go to one of them when the time comes, actually at Bassani, the guy grew up in the same city as me and was super helpful, I think his name was Sheldon. Go with quality and by the sounds of things now would be the best time to install, aren't you doing an engine swap/ overhaul?

I know what you are sayin' and I don't think Lightning stuff works because I would have said Kook's exhaust. Building a custom exhaust from the headers back may be something? Then you can throw some high flow cats and even make it true dual instead of merging into one. Ya, don't see alot for Dynatech and I think cost scares most away and that's why. But, the other two, both JBA and Bassani aren't cheap either.

Even more reason to build your own, no need for cats and you can x-pipe it to true duals. It is easy to rid cats without setting off idiot lights and crap like that, wish I didn't have 4 of them.

I know what you talken about Blue. I think I'm just going to get a y-pipe built for it. I thought that the gas tank was in the way so you could not run true duals on F-150s.

i got gibson ceramic coated on mine. i can run 125-135 mph for about 5 minutes, kill the motor, and with a coupla minutes the headers are cool to the touch. they are very much worth the money that i spent on them. if you want some prices hit me up i think i can get some
