ok guys,

im looking to get some headers and every thread i look at someone always has different answers.

basically im just looking for more power and mpg gains, i know the MPG wont go up much if all)

so far all the mods are in my sig

 

You didn't post your sig

LTs without a doubt will open up more power. As for mpg idk, anyone with LTs has your gas mileage increased? I was told it would drop, mainly the reason I haven't got LTs yet.

 

darnit it hasnt been posting sometimes, here

PHP Gryphon
18x9 XD Monster's
33' BFG A/T
2" AS Leveling Kit
Brandmotion iPod Adapter
6000k H.I.D Head and Fog Lights
Line-X Bedliner
Weathertech Floorliners
True Dual Magnaflow Exhaust
K&N CAI

i am getting about 12.5 city even with all of that, so ANYTHING would be better. I will be ordering the TP UD pulleys and TP e-fans here in a couple weeks also

 

It posted that time. Mine only posts occasionally too. Wierd.

It's hard for me to say what happen when I put my LTs on. I did the entire exhaust in one shot. The entire thing got me about 1.5 mpg being nice to it. But then I went and did the UDPs, efans and a tune in one clip. All said and done I was getting 15-16 when I was averaging 10-11.5 before that. That was based on conservative driving for a few tanks both before and after the mods. Now that I'm back to my normal driving (ok maybe a little bit of a heavier foot because it's so much more fun now) it's dropped back down to about 12/12.5. The better mileage is there if I want it though.

 

anyone else care to chime in?

 

Long tubes are the only ones that will really give you a power gain. MPG wouldnt be noticeable.

 

so like JBA's do nothing?

 

If you are going to go through the trouble of putting headers on you might as well go with the long tubes and get the power gain that goes with it. From what I understand shortys do nothing but add sound.

 

alright so what is the best company to buy LT's from?

 

???

 

Best = Dynateach,,about $1400
Kooks,,$900

Middle = OBX,,about $500.(stainless headers and havent heard much complants out of them)

Bottom = Pasetters,,I think there about 2 or 300 bucks.

I have the pacesetters on my truck they are a good header the only issue with them is the gasets are junk. I got 25 at the wheels from the headers.

 

did you get the ceramic coated pacesetters? cats or off-road?

 

Yes mine are coated, no off-road pipe I have magnaflow cats
