Don't think there is a large selection of Long Tube headers for the newer 6.2L trucks. I wouldn't waste my time on shorty headers.

American Racing Headers is one and Stainless Works is another but they are over double what your thinking in price. I haven't looked lately but there might be another brand or so.

Kooks has some for under $900 so that might be your best bet.

Get ARH or Kooks, and get it over with. The quality & fit is much better, the performance gains are proven, and you'll be happier in the long run. If you don't get them now, you're gonna want them later....

They don't have any out that I know of specifically for 6.2L trucks. Kooks is about the cheapest you can get $800-$900 for just the long tube headers.

^^^Without the y-pipe. Essentially the same price as ARH once you factor that in. Not to mention Kooks has quoted me double the shipping price vs. ARH on every call I've made to them.
