Need some help on what type of headers to put on my truck. I have a 2005 Supercrew 4x4 5.4L triton. Currently I have a CAT-back flowmaster exhaust, K&N cold air intake, SCT programmer (87 perf, 87 eco, 93 perf). I tow a 22.5' boat and the truck seems to struggle a little. Just looking to add some more power and torque. I have been looking at JBA headers in stainless steel. Am I really going to feel a difference between the stainless steel and Titanium Ceramic?? Thanks in advance.

 

If you want gains quit looking at shorty headers....you need to look at long tubes either dynatech, OBX, stainless works....imo

 

If you're doing headers, long tubes are all I'd put in. In terms of best quality and coming with everything you need like cats and y pipe: Dynatech and Stainless works. Pretty much the best money can buy for our trucks and I've never really seen any complaints about any vehicle... Trust me I've tried Lol. They run 1400-1500 or so SW being more expensive. You get what you pay for IMO, I'm adding SW to my truck in a year or so

I appreciate the quick responses from everyone. I am looking at dynatech since the header system includes the high flow cat and y-pipe assembly. Is there a big difference from dynatech and stainless works?

 

Both are top notch. SW seems like a fantastic group of guys... If you're near Ohio, depending on the portion they offer free installs

 

how many lb-ft of torque will I gain? I'm really looking to add more torque than anything.

 

as stated, long tubes, or nothing


but compare the cost of a re-gear and if it's close then go that route since you tow

 

Has anyone put tru duals on their truck in addition to the dynatech and/or any headers? Just thinking it will help to again increase torque? Thanks again.

 

everyone want's "cool guy" mods: chip, dual exhaust etc while they fail to coprehend the reasoning for different modifications...




on your truck, I would use 2.5 inch piping with an H-type cross over or a single 3 inch system for maintaining proper exhaust gas velocity maintaining the powerband of the motor under the curve



all my trucks have duals (Lightning and Harley had 'em stock, and the green truck got it not too long after it came to live with me) BUT I also have other things done so the dual exhaust was another piece of the correlating puzzle

 

I had true duals (no x pipe) with long tube headers in my 5.4 2v. There was a loss in low end torque but an increase in high end power. Once I used a cross over (x-pipe) i regained some of my low end torque. Then to bring the duals and headers all the together for their full potential I got custom tubes from php.

 

Another vote for LT.
