Ford Racing or Gibson

Just looking for more m.p.g. than power, but added power is always welcome. It'll be going on a '95 5.8L with a Flowmaster system. Anybody have any thoughts or opinions? Thanks!

I've got ford racing shorties on my 5.0 EFI and they helped out a bit in mileage and horsepower plus they're made out of stainless steel so they shouldn't rust apart. They fit perfectly and I've had no problems with them this past year that I've had them on my truck. The Gibson's look better but have heard of people having trouble with them matching up to the y-pipe.

Yes they improved the sound too. The thinner tubing of the headers gives off an echoing effect from under the hood, it sounds pretty cool.
