What headers should I put on my truck? I have an 03 with a 6.0l and am looking for the most in power. I live in Cali and will have to smog it in a couple of years. Do you cali guys thing the long tubes would make the visual inspection? I guess it's a crap shoot? Any help would be appreciated. Also it looks like my factory exhaust has maybe (2) converts per pipe?

 

Consensus around here is Long Tubes.. Not sure on the Cali deal but im sure there are guys from there running em.. Arizona Speed and Marine headers are good, The Others Guys headers.. some guys are even running Thorleys.. check out some of the site sponsors for prices..

 

Any mid/long tube headers will do. Stay away from shorty headers.

 

The dynatech supermaxx setup is $$$weet.

 

They are definitely that! Unfortunately, they don't have the CARB # that he'd need.

 

Well hey there Dave! I thought they weren't carb legal, but they still are sweet...you gettin any snow up your way?

 

I would also definitely have to say stay away from shorties. I put them on my truck and they didn't do jack **** for me. Getting Dynatech setup soon!

 

I just purchased the shorties. Hopefully It will allow the engine to run cooler for my SuperCharger. That's the only reason I purchased them. For N/A flow I agree; jack ****!

 

The Other Guys (TOG) headers have a CARB exemption # and are considered to be mid length headers and produce good gains. I don't know for sure but guess these headers should get you through your inspection. I think that they are the only mid-long tube headers with an exemption # if that is a primary consideration for you. They go for around $750 before coating $150. Some cutting and welding of the stock exhaust is required.

 

TOG's are the way to go if you are concerned about smog. I have them on my truck, a bit of a pain in the *** to install because they the cats are so close to the header flanges. I have a CARB number and will find out next year if I get hassled with smog.
