    These headers add any kind of power?

    I know the real power adders are longtubes and ORY. but with my truck at a 5/8 drop and plans to one day go lower i dont think i will be fitting longtubes on the truck.

    Wondering if these would be worth the buy? I doubt ill see any major gains but wondered if anyone else had any input? Also will they sound any diff that stock manifolds?

    Edit also not looking to spend a fortune. Just came across these and was curious. Thanks guys

    Save your money. No noticeable HP or SOTP gains. Sounds like stock manifolds.

    Exactly why im not gonna be able to run any long tubes. Are the mid lengths worth the dough?

    Pacesetters are fine. I ran my truck at 5/7 for over a year and I'm not at 4/7 and have been for 2 years. I scrape my frame all the time, but never my exhaust. Just don't buy their ORY. You'll need to have a custom ypipe made or go to true duals.

    Thats a good point. My headers dont hit, the ORY does. Like he said get the headers and just have the rest of the exhaust made.
