The Dyna techs are a good header but I was able to get a set of ceramic coated Pacesetters and the full true dual exhaust for 2/3rds the cost of the dyna techs. The only issue with the Pacesetters is that they supply crappy gaskets, just get new OEM gaskets and they work great. If you have a couple grand to throw at your exhaust then by all means get the Dyna techs. I am very happy with my setup and I only have 1K in it total.

When I installed the pacesetters and true duals I went to the dyno and hit 255RWHP and 290RWTQ with only a K&N drop in filter. They made a noticable improvement. Of course they only helped after the SC install.

If you look at JLP ,LFP, RPM outlet, JDM.
They all have good stainless headers and some of them are 2 or 300 less then Dynatech.

LFP Try Y Competition Long Tube Headers
Details Featuring thick laser cut flange, equal length 1 5/8" primaries stepping at collector to 1 7/8, exclusive tri-y collector that optimizes... $789.00

Some are having good luck with OBX headers too.

I have Kooks on my truck....

i just got my dynatechs put on with high flow cats and they are top notch. A guy actually called talking about how his pacesetters were already flaking and he wanted to replace them. Im sure they do the job just save up and have that piece of mind. I gained about 25rwhp N/A so food for thought.

Pace setters look good.

I happen to know a guy with a set that he has and never installed. Comes with fel-pro gaskets and an O2 extension.

He says he's done with his truck and saving up for a car +mods right now.

Just ordered the OBX long tubes, for the price I gotta try them, overall from what I've heard they've been pretty good. I'll have to wait and see. Any body know a good place to get O2 extentions?

looking at the dynatechs, is there any reason to get one with the cats? would the tubes go all the way back to connect with my exhaust system?

Thanks for finding the extender links, but neither of them will ship to Canada. I'll keep looking, I don't want to soldier in wires I would rather plug in extentions. Any suggestions on high-flow cats? I have to be able to pass "air care" what a joke!
