Help me pick out some shorties!

What would you guys recommend for shortie headers for a '03 f150 FX4?

I'd rather not spend a bunch of money, I only plan in driving the truck for a couple more years. The only reason I'm messing with it is the stockers on the truck are cracked.

OBX Longtubes, ebay has them. Shorties are a waste of time and money, but JBA has some if not the only and they are pretty nice. Just the long tubes yield power and sound gains making the install worthwhile, unless you could care less, my suggestion is get the JBA's.

OBX also offers shorties and the OP is dead set on not getting any gains as long as he can limp the truck by for a lil' longer...

How much are the OBX shorties?

Also, how much more money are we talking as far as installation with long tubes vs shorties?
