Which Tri Y ?? only two guys making that I know ......Thorleys 1 5/8 primary IMO the right one for stock to mild engine 5.3 / 6.0 .towing max power at 4500 .......they have done dyno but over stock engine not against 4 tube

The other link also makes a 1 3/4 ...... I would look at those for a higher rpm or larger engine .......

Overall its all about torque and more impoertantly where you wan tthe max torque .down low or at 4 k or more ..........what do you use ypour truck for

That link looks like a decent set of headers, but the price on them are out of the world imo, esp for mild steel or coated ones..

You guys are forgetting Bellanger..which imo are some of the nicest tri-y headers out there for our trucks...Not sure they are making them anymore, You may be able to call them or finda used set......

I run the Bellanger Tri-y headers. TOP quality for sure however expensive! Bellanger are popular with the V-10 Vipers.

Not sure why they would stop production of those fine looking pipes.

2nd that. They look really nice. Generally the only reason a company drops a model is because they aren't selling. Their SRT v10 headers w/cats are $1950 so price is obviously a factor.

Their site list Hi-Temp Jet-Hot coating included.

Lack of sales I guess. Also, they didn't advertise like the big companies do. From what I understand they are a very small company focused on quality in a niche market.

I'll bet that if 5 people got together, they would pull the truck header Jig out of storage and make a few sets.

I had the option. I always have my headers coated.
