I have had TOG's [The Other Guys] for three years - very nice fit, durable and the add to the power as advertised.

New Dual MagnaFlow exhaust with JBA titanium coated headers get installed tomorrow.

JBA works for me since I am in a strict smog state. I'll let you know when I get the truck back with regards to performance.

8100HD,

Are your headers coated?

I'm considering bolting on the Whipple. The past force fed trucks I've owned have been a real nightmare keeping headers on and leak proof.

I have a magnacharged 5.3 now that has the stock exhaust manifolds and it's fine for what we do with it.

But I'd like to have the additional power for the 8.1. And i will be working it hard. Don't like melting stuff.

Are you satified with your set-up?

I'm running TOG's very nice header I like them allot. I plan on ditching them for stainless long tubes for its better power curve.

If you get the TOGS make sure you get the coated, especially if you are adding a SC - as to fit and leaks, not too worry.

Mine are coated and are leak free...as far as being happy with my setup...are we ever totally satified??? I runs real strong and tows like there is nothing behind it.

I may sell my set of Gibson headers with less than 200 miles on them, SS with Stage 8 Fastners.

I dont like the sound. The droning is horrible. Its not worth the few miles per gallon you might get for skull rattling sound.

The interior noise is two fold. Tried two different mufflers and no luck so may go back to stock unless someone can share a brand that is slightly better than stock.

I know I cant get stock sound but close is better than loud.
