new headers

I was interested in putting new headers on my 05 4.6L. It's got flowmaster cat-back exhaust on it and i'd like to get some performance headers increase my hp by a little and make my truck overall louder. I'm also thinking about putting a K&N cold air intake on it. Any suggestions?

stock headers = stock exhaust manifolds

headers = aftermarket performance exhaust manifolds

K&N intake = Short Ram Intake

I also believe that they don't make long tubes for the 4.6

Probably nothing, shorties are worthless used, let alone rusted ones.

I don't think ANYONE that is ON HERE has ever seen a truck good sideways especially in the colder climates where snow is present
