I believe fast4.8 got them because they are a long tube, and he got them from www.tbyrnemotorsports.com

I will say I am very happy with what I got.

I would like to be able to do most of the mods to my truck myself, but if the gains are good enough, and the headers are hard to install, I am more than willing to have someone install them for me.

Yes I did them myself. They really are not hard to do, just a few bolt were a little tough to get to. The hardest part was getting the damn oil dipstick back in a sealed good. The ASM's are easy because, basically all you do is unbolt what you have, cut 1/4" in front of the cats, put it back together and head to the muffler shop to get the flanges welded. Hamms and The Other Guys, I'm not sure if there is a specific place to cut or if you kind of stick build them together since the collectors do not go all the way to the cats.
