Obx long tubes.....most economical choice

Programmer and custom tunes should be next on your list of things to do along with regearing for those 35's

Best set, probably American Racing Headers: http://www.americanracingheaders.com..._5.4L_2WD.html I'm sure they'll have a quality pair, Stainless Works: http://www.stainlessworks.net/produc...ead-pipes.html To name a few. OBX has some good quality, cheap header kits, just installed some on my truck, no issues. I'm one to scrutinize quality of offshore made stuff, no quams about them. Wish the kit was a tad more complete ie. fasteners to heads maybe? Give people the option anyways, but worst case you have to spend another 20-40 bux on new studs or bolts.

I went obx, fatherford is obx and twinscrew (I think) also went obx. Best bang for the buck header you can get. They either come with resinators or cats. Make sure you buy the ones with the y pipe as they are dynatech knockoffs and not the pos pacesetter knock offs

Twinscrewed went with Dynatechs, that'd be my choice. All that money on mods and knockoff headers? I wouldn't. Saw, are and dynatechs get my votes

I woulda thaught the headers would, but the rest wouldn't due to x-fer case etc. if available I didn't see. Forgot Dynatech's too, that's another complete system.

You can put dyna's and OBX's side by side and you can not tell the difference.

I saw some pictures on a saleen forum. Absolutely no difference.

Dynatech headers are also full T-304 grade, they will last just like a Borla exhaust will. No pitting or surface rust. The OBXs will surface pit over a salty winter. If you don't have to have salty winters then the OBX kit will do just fine. The OBX gaskets also suck and leak. Replace with OEM gaskets before putting the LTs in.
