Which set of headers?

hey guys my f-150 is an 05 with a K&N cold air intake and banks dual monster exhaust. I'm just curious as to which set of headers yall think is suitable for me. And also, will the gryphon programmer still work as well as it usually would with these mods already installed? I appreciate all replies.

if you want to use LT's than yes you would need to retune, but if you are going to use shorties than is not necessary but it wouldn't hurt anyway to retune. My preferance is LT's from Dynatech but they are to expensive, however they come with hi-flow cats, Pacesetters are also good.

I have the Banks Torque tubes and the rest of the powerpack and I'm very happy with this kit I gained over 5mpg on highway, headers have 5/8 inch thick flanges and they fit perfect don't know what gains are for just the headers but I'm very happy with the seat of the pants dyno

Pacesetter and Dynatech make great headers ( Longtube )

Gryphon is an excellent choice. I absolutely love mine. Bill and Corey at PHP know what they're doing.

There's a guy on here who dealt with a new smaller company that makes shorties, very good thread and the headers are at a nice price.

Alright fellas thanks for all replies. it seems that the majority lean towards long tubes in pacesetter/dynatech. I have not looked at that thread yet though, which i will do right now, MDK.
