Who Makes A Good Long Tube Header For The 5.3l?

[ace ventura]

I've checked JBA and they have the shorties and some of the other brands I'm not sure a quality.

I have the AEM Brute Force Sport LT headers and am very happy with them!

Dynatech also makes some:

checkout banks, they might have some, ONLY GO LONG TUBE!!!!!! my banks headers have 5/8" think flanges, they never leak or have needed re-tightning, it just remarkable, not like the old days...

Wow! Long tube headers aren't cheap. Looks like close to a grand.

X2, stick with the long tubes, the shorties aren't as beneficial.

Jenna, how are those AEMs holding up? Those sound about $500 better then the dynatech system.

Does anyone know if you need the y pipe along with the long tube headers to complete the install? and do the long tube headers eliminate any cats that the truck wouldn't pass emissions?

 

 

thanks!

Yes, you'll need a y-pipe. You can get the y-pipe with or without cats. Since you're looking at one with cats, just make sure the header/y-pipe kit comes with extensions for your O2 sensor cables. You'll need them.

Or you can make your own extensions...It's not too hard.

 

And don't forget to tune out the rear ones if you're going catless...And you WILL want a tune after LT's.

Good to hear, now I just gotta find a good place to get them from, any suggestions?

 

I think I've seen them listed as low as the $800s.

[Jennabear]

It is hard to find them used, I have seen em on amazon and such for 1K, if you can get em for 800, I would grab em!!
