What kind of headers do you guys recommend??

I have an 06 5.4 with true duals. Recently a leak has come about on the passenger side manifold. Instead of replacing a manifold I figured I will just replace with headers assuming they will be around the same price as a new manifold. My question is what is the best headers for the sound and the money. I mean I don't want to spend a fortune on this, but I don't want a cheap setup that I will be replacing in a few years. I plan on putting on magnaflow cats at the same time as the headers. So what's your guy's opinion on headers?? Thanks in advance for your responses

thats what i am considering myself...most mustang guys use these as well, but from what i hear from them they wished they had gotten them with ceramic coating. Any f150 pluses and minuses with the ceramic coating?

Obx are stainless if they was steel then I would say yes and obx doesn't even offer ceramic coating on the 04-08 f150 headers I don't know about other models

I had the same problem with the passenger side of my truck hissing after about 67,000 miles..
I replaced them with Banks Torque Tubes for around $500 plus $200 for the install at Four Wheel Parts in Tacoma Washington. I m glad I got the Banks they do help with torque I have noticed less downshifting while driving in the hills. Am also glad I had them installed it took the installers eight hours to complete and they said it was a bear..
