Which long tubes
Truck is a 93 f150 2wd with e4od. Engine is a mildly built 5.8 from an 89. I don't want to spend an arm an a leg but I want a good set of long tubes for it.
What brand do y'all reccomend.
Thanks in advance
Will

I just installed the Pacesetter's. I love them. Perfect fit, and it allows me to keep EGR so I got rid of the annoying check engine light and gained a few MPGs back.
Here my build thread that shows the install:

If you live in a place where rust is an issue, id check out the Hooker Darkside long tube headers. They're ceramic coated which will help them last a long time so youre definitely getting your money's worth.

do the pacesetters fit even with lifted 4x4? i bought the flowtechs cuz i knew i'd have to bend the drivers side to get them to sneak by the d-shaft, and they were cheap and they really arent a bad design for power (just fitment from the complaints i see about them)

I put flowtechs on my 86 and they fit great. I was really surprised they fit so well for the price. But like said I would get some ceramic coated headers. Even the header paint I used on mine didnt last too long.

i was actually surprised with the flowtechs also. when i did mine, i ordered 3 different sets of headers out of jegs, picked which ones would be the best candidate for what i was doin (i knew i'd have to bend them to fit past the d-shaft on my lifted truck), and returned the others. the flowtechs not only fit decent for bein damn near 100 bucks, they were actually quite a bit larger than the hooker and other brand i bought (cant remember the 3rd). the hookers were dinky, especially on the pass side. no doubt the flowtechs are cheap, but they arent bad, and they are literally identical to a few other "big names" that charge a little more for the exact same header. . . . . . . . . . .
