numerous hits from the search button indicate, stay away from shorty's, use either OBX, Pacesetter, or Dynatech....but get custom tune to go along with it..........................

OBX only makes mid length headers for 04 and up F150's.

The dynatech system is great, That is what I have and love it. Make sure that if you are doing the install yourself you are ready for a weekend of work. The exhaust studs are a pain to get to with the frame rail there. Long tube headers are worth it tho. It sounds so much better and performs great. Just remember you get what you pay for.

Pacesetters are made of carbon steel. they won't hold up.
OBX and Dynatech are both made of Stainless steel.
If I had the money I'd get the Dynatech. I haven't seen anyone with OBX.
Do not get any header that is ceramic coated. Always look for Stainless Steel.
American Racing Headers are just as good as Dynatech.

Definitely Dynatech. You get absolutely everything, though I am not sure if they provide the front O2 extensions or not.

I'd only get a tune from troyer if you don't know any reputable shop near you. RPM outlet has the dynatech headers and cat back for 1k + 100 for shipping
