New headers! HELP

One of my headers is cracked, so i am going to get replacement headers soon. But, I don't want factory. What are some good header upgrades for my truck?

1992 5.0 302 4x4 stock.

Pacesetter and flowtech both have good choices. A high flow Y pipe will do wonders too. Catco makes one or you can use a flowmaster Y collector and make your own.

Pacesetter headers are pretty good in terms of mating up to the motor. If you go to Summit Racing's website and order the "Summit" brand headers, I believe that the long tubes are just reboxed Pacesetters. I know that the shorties are reboxed Pacesetters for sure.

what they said above.. pacesetter shorties..

summit brand headers are actually pacesetters..

the shorties for a 5.0 dont match up perfectly but are pretty close.. *just ran into this issue myself.. so at the same time you'll have to do a Y-pipe or just modify yours.. it's easier to do a new one...
