Default Which headers???????

I was going to look into a set of MAC headers but......What brands are giving the best performance? and I was told that I should use long tubes? You guys are to pros so any help would be appreciated.

everyone on here swears buy Pacesetters Longtubes look at our sponsors to the right
i think Speed Engineering still has them on sale

what im doing is buy the uncoated ones and sending the to Jet Hot and having them sterling coated for like $250... they guarantee them to lower the temp of your engine bay and the life of them... all in all should be about $600 for Jet Hot coated headers

It all depends on if you want high RPM power mid range power.

The best headers for usable daily driving power would the Thorleys, but if you race your truck a lot and want the power in the high RPMs, then get longtubes. The Pacesetters seem to be favored.
