78 F150 2WD 400 Headers

I am wondering what everyone who has a 2WD F150 with a 400 is using for headers. I am unsure what to get. I am looking for Black Ceramic Coated Headers. I prefer the look of short tube headers, but will go with long tubes if they are the better option.

I saw someone used the Sanderson Headers and had trouble with them. I see hooker only shows 4WD headers and hedman does not offer the black ceramic coated headers for the 2WD.

Thanks for the input,
~Chad

Yeah, I have heard horror stories about the flow tech's not fitting or leaking. I am thinking about going with these and getting them black ceramic coated

my flowtechs are fine had a lil slag i had to smooth off with a grinder. i used percy's dead soft aluminum gaskets an no leaks. i had hookers on a 302 and they were awesome they were in the same truck i got a 400 in now.
