Are these for a F-150 V-8? If so, headers are very expensive and you get what you pay for. That being said, try Pacesetter.

I didn't know this was for a Lightning. You should put this in your signature. If you search or ask in the Lightning area, what you will find is that shorty headers yield little or no increased performance on a stock Lightning. If you're pushing high horsepower, long tube headers only are recommended. Many F-150 5.4 headers have notations that they don't fit Lightnings; like the Edelbrocks. Most of the Lightning tuner websites make specially designed long tube headers for the Lightning and they cost a fortune. You should skip the cheap headers. Use the factory manifolds, pay the price for quality long tubes, or buy some used ones. Members here sell used headers all the time.

You're both welcome ! Here's a few more. This is the company that makes the headers that a few Lightning tuners sell.
http://www.secureperformanceorder.co...lightning.html

This is a popular equal length shorty header.

These are straight up shorty headers.
