    Longtube header choice

    whats my best bet for picking a set that will fit really good on a 2006 5.3 4x4? I like the new LPP's but i read the problems with the Y pipe hitting the driveshaft, and the drivers side header hitting the steering shaft. The pacesetters seem to have really crappy coating not sure on fitment. Haven't found much on the OBX lt's, they fit good? i see they are stainless. I also thought i saw some mention the Tri Y from thorley but according to what i looked at they only make shorties.

    SO what is my best bet on what to go with?

    Wish list: Comp XR265HR or XR259HR cam, Vig 2800

    I got obx's on mine and could not be happier. The band clamps suck that came with them, and your going to need some metal zip ties to tie up two of the plug wires on the driver's side. The fitment is great and other than the plug wires they don't touch anywhere.

    it's real easy to prevent just need some metal zip ties, and some heat sleeves cost me 30 bucks at the auto store.

    I just installed my pace setters today with the ory. The only fitment issue i had was with one of the primaries hitting on my front yoke just had to dent that a little bit and some the plug wires rest on some of the primaries.
