Headers or no?
My truck is completely stock engine-wise with the exception of a K&N going on soon... I am also putting exhaust on the truck and wanted to know if headers would be a decent investment at this time. I know with my TA the headers really didnt help until the cam was put in. Will the stock manifolds due for now or should I just do the headers...

I would go ahead and put them on, I had some Edelbrock Shorties put on, and you can definently tell the difference up top. Plus if you do it now you wont have to do it later. If i had to do it agian though, i would go with Arizona speed and marine long tubes.

Definitely going with longtubes.... Dynatech is what Norris told me I should go with
Another question... LT's and Bullet mufflers with cats.... anyone heard/running this setup. I have a set of Dynomax Bullets I'd like to use.

I still have cats and a magnaflow muffler. Im thinking of replacing my cats with bullets. Ive heard F bodies with LT headers and cats with bullets. Its pretty loud, but sounds awesome

I've talked to many people on here, and a lot of people locally in performance shops, who have told me that Dynatech Supermaxx longtubes are the best way to go as far as headers. ASM's are a bitch to install from what I'm told, and Supermaxx's just have the best power gain's.

No longtube header is easy to install,do a search and yu will see what i mean.Anyways supermaxx are not coated and the underhood temps are much higher,so if you go with them,do yourself a favor and get em coated.Also why pay $1.300 dolllars for that setup,you are paying a extra $600.00 for cats and a y pipe.When the factory cats are allready pretty high flow.Anyways i noticed a large gain in tq in the lowend department with my assm headers,i tow alot and the diffrence is huge.

So would I be better off then using longtubes, y pipe with cats and bullet muffler or running longtubes and a true dual setup with cats and bullets? Good point that I don't want to lose the low end torque....
Any suggestions on mufflers then? I have the bullets but may change them out for something else.. no catback systems tho.. I am only looking for mufflers (I'd go with a B&B like my old TA if they sold only the muffler)
