Shorty Headers

Here's the link user EsJayEs suggested -

http://www.realtruck.com/gibson-perf...rs/gp207s.html

Those are $500 shorties w/free shipping.

Here's another link EsJayEs suggests, -

http://www.realtruck.com/gibson-perf.../gp207s-c.html

$586.70 for those shorties

No usable horsepower or torque gains, -they don't help down low, but you may see a little gain way up high in the RPM's. If your WFO everywhere you go, you may be able to benefit that wi amount of gain if you try...really hard.

Doesn't make sense as I said before. Shorties have NEVER netted gains to write home about. It has been that way for the tenth generation trucks w/the Modular Motors for as long as I can remember. All you have to do is research a bit. Not just here...google it.

Long Tube headers w/High Flow cats (2)

This is how CHEAP long tube headers could cost yuh if planned properly, -

Pacesetters, - (I installed 2 sets of these, -one set on my truck back in 08 and they've been great), -

http://www.streetsideauto.com/p/pace...R1gaAgBd8P8HAQ

They'll run yuh $262.99

I don't care what anybody says, I can tell you for a fact you DO NOT need special Y-Pipe. That is just bad information, no way around it. You use your factory Y-Pipe for LT headers and High flow catalytic converters.

Now that that's straight, -

High Flow Cats

Your 4 converts currently on your truck have a much higher value (more precious metals) then most catalytic converters being sold today. Cut them off, take them up to the salvage yard. I received $160 for my old converters, - since then, I've heard of guys getting $200 + for their original old cats.

So New High Flow converters are a wash , so to speak. Here's what they run for good ones - these are CARB compliant, it's what you want, -

$85.97 apiece, you only need 2, = $171.94

Black Sheep out.

Which one says 4.6L and 5.4L? Curious. Sure, they'd physically bolt to the engine. But I'd be more curious to hear from somebody that has actually done it.
