neither, those are shoty headers and really wont do anything for you. get eitehr dynatech, TOG, AZM, Or doug thorley's. These are all either long tube or mid length but show great gains. I am probably going to go with Thorley's becasue of price.

I would go with the TOG's. You get more ponys for the money. Jon B. at TOG was tellin me that have been seeing 25 to 30 rwhp out of their headers on the 6.0. And they have seen up to 45 rwhp out of the GM big blocks. And this has been on BONE STOCK or slightly moded ( cold air and/or exaust) trucks.

Im not exactly sure what the TOG's are going for, but tbyrne has good deals on them. I would check around for the best deal. If I remember tbyrne is selling the uncoated for $749.99 and the coated ones are $150 more. IMO it was worth the money.

I don't think you can beat the bang-buck ratio of the Thorley long tubes. $430 shipped from summit, chrome coated. I haven't installed mine yet.

The only down side to my Thorleys is the ports didn't exactly match the gasket. However, 20 minutes with a die grinder, and they line up great now.

Red, do you have a PN for the Thorleys @ Summit?

Thanks to all of you for your input.

I would still go with the TOG's. Im telling you, you will get more rwhp from the TOG's over the Thorleys.

I have heard very good things about TOG headers However, paying $749 for headers that still have to ceramic coated is not a good deal to me. I have you ever considered some ASM's? I got my ASM's on sale for $675 shipped and serously doubt I could have gotten a better deal unless I woulda have gotten them used.
