I went with silver ceramic.

A mini-starter is not necessary.. the FF427 will clear OEM starters. ... by about 1/8 of an inch. Plenty.

HIO is right they clear the starter. I got em and painted em with VHT but the look like crap now so I would for sure get em powder coated. I got a couple vidros on youtube. This is my truck after I put em on. I ain't sure how to post a link but here is how you can look em up on youtube, copy and paste.

ok, only reason I was wondering, was summit raised the price of the headers I wanted from 441.99 to 508.99, and the sanderson ceramic are roughly 514.99, so I figured if I will spend that much why not go with shorties. now their website says don't use a gasket but should I use a gasket? nice truck and sound GaRedneck91!

sanderson headers go in easy compared to other headers right?
