Yea, don't give this guy the time of day. He doesn't have the weight to post this request and it should tell you something about this individual.

BTW- The answer is just a phone call away, this user is here to cause conflict IMO and definitely made the ignore (ant) list.

ok a lightning 5.4 head is the same as N/A 5.4 so any longtubes for a truck with a 5.4 will work.

your chooses are. Kooks *1,000 bucks SS alsome guys*

Dynatech *1,000 dollars 1,500 for cats and Y-pipe SS alsome too for the money.

OBX *cheap SS made in China have heard storys of welds cracking,

Pacesetter *its what me and Jbrew run. 14 gauge carbon steel 289 bucks for longtubes can be paitned or jet coated for jet coated it is 430 bucks. i love my pacesetter never had any probs with them.

Why cant we just make a few stickys???? nothing agest you OP but im tired of answering the same questions all the time and giving the same info.

thanks shifty that's good stuff..

and like i said i don't wanna be that noob that only makes threads like this... so if there is another one then just tell me where it is or give me a link

i pretty much go on this site with my cell phone so it's not like i have the power of a computer to search and what not... which is why it's a million times easier to just ask and rely on you guys experience for good help

I would like to see one thread where OBX headers cracked?????

it's the older pace setters that had the cracking issues, Jbrew got a set of the newer ones and has had no issues I'm aware of

also a set of dynatechs that RUSTED!!!!!! AHHHH if i payed 1,000 for a set of T-304 stainless and they rusted id be very very man.

pacesetters always got my vote thoe. Made in the USA!!! so are dynatechs and Kooks

I always seen those but never knew if they were worth it but I'll take your word for it and look into them

actually, I was thinking of buying the jlp comp R basanni exhaust kit and cut off the tailpipe and get two custom ones bent up for my supercab... is that kit worth the money though?

at your minimal power levels the comp R will take power away, you've got to be pushing over 550-600rwhp and upwards of 700 rwtq to need the comp R

jet coated costs a lil more but they dont rust.

i got the carbon steel ones and then i striped the paint off and painted them with VHT high temp paint the collectors are still painted but i have rust popin up on the primarys but im not worryed bout it.

good luck

oh ok so i'll upgrade to that later maybe because my ultimate goal for for RWHP is 600..

if i'm going to spend that much on LT's then i'm going to go all out and get the max rust protection lol but DUDE, i never realized the pacesetters would be under $500, i'm DEFINATELY ordering them tomorrow!!
