What are the absolute best headers out there for the 5.3 with the most gain to be had? Money is not a factor. I have read many post, but people keep saying best bang for the buck, etc. Do not take money into consideration.

I am thinking TOG's with optional ceramic coating, but are there any better ones than even theirs out there or are they gonna be my best bet?

AS&M's better than TOG's?

Longtubes? Etc.? What to get....what to get?

 

FLP's

 

Okay, any reason?

 

I like the FLP's also. They are a true long tube header and they are available with a custom Y pipe with high flow cats. They are however in the $1200 to $1300 range. They are stainless steel and of course there is no custom welding required. I've seen a set close up and they are ****!

 

I'd buy the TOG's over again and get them coated again.

 

Let me rephrase....I don't want to blow money (buy the most expensive simply just because it is the most expensive).
But money is not an option, if I want the best.

25-30 hp for TOG's seems to be true so far from what I hear.

If FLP's are nearly twice the cost (which cost doesn't matter if they're worth it), what kind of output will they give to a "relatively stock" truck like mine?

 

Let me add that money wasn't much issue when I got mine. I was getting the RADIX, and they were the only ones that had a lifetime warranty, period. The ASM's were warrantied on naturally aspirated engines. That made me think that TOG were a little more confident in thier headers.

 

hey flyer,

i dont get that. why are the asm's warrantied only for n/a? just curious what a supercharger has to do with a header defect
thanks

 

Typically, a SC engine will run more heat than a NA engine, which may result in welds coming apart over time, or at least speeding up the process.

 

hey, i thought i was the only one that said that line. lol. that is pretty funny. i say that once in a while and people look at me and
