To all, just for enjoyment, this is Texas, not CA. I am not worried about emissions at all. So don't hesitate to give me some radical advice.
Sounds like Flowtech is the one, but how much of a pain is torch-to-fit on the new ones?

Took me about 2hrs and a 4ft bar plus a helper to keep all 4 pipes hot enough to bend... It would be better to just get the pacesetter headers. They fit great on these trucks

Thx to all. By the way, I'm in Texas, so emissions is not a concern!
Feel free to offer your radical advice for high perf exhaust options.
I'm taking a neglected f250/351W and fixin' it up piece-by-piece.
Tomorrow, compression test and then replace the plugs and wiring.
Just don't ask me about the lighting wiring. Facing a shorted ground that's causing the lights to be on when they shouldn't. Unless you have some secrets to removing the dash. Have to replace the headlight switch.

Here's related info:
Ran compression check, 90 psi on one cylinder, 135 in the rest. The low cylinder is near where the hole in the exhaust manifold is. How much sleep should I lose, or what should I do about the low compression cylinder. The engine runs better since the test and changing plugs and wires.
