Exhaust Options

I know this is a time worn subject, but I am checking to see if anyone has any updated ideas on exhaust solutions for a bone stock 1971 F250 Camper Special, 2WD, 390 2V, with auxiliary fuel tank, no sway bar. I want to install a larger diameter, dual exhaust system with headers to improve performance and efficiency. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions for headers that will fit?

Very worn......

Sanderson FF427 headers and 2.5-inch mandrel bent tubing. Free-flowing mufflers of your choice.

Review the tech info compilation for zillions of links...

Cheapest headers are the flowtechs. They are not particularly good, but they are good enough for the application you describe. They come in a Ford F100/FE configuration.

I had to swap mine out for Sanderson headers when I went to CJ style heads with bigger ports.
