Header Survey
I am new this forum, I have 2003 v-10 extended cab long bed 6spd and I want to put some headers on it. Borla says they do not offer anything for 03, what do think is the best header to go with. I like the idea of a long tube header because they make more power then the shorties on the other ford modular motors. Any feedback you can give me would be great.
Thanks

I have a 2003 V10 and I am running the Gale Banks Power Pack kit. The system is Headers and all new exhaust. I love the Banks system. The headers have a 5/8" flange! No leaks here. Lots of power gain and nice sound, very mellow but sound cool when you are wide open.

no gaskets. but direct bolt on.
they are a very good fit and build . coated, great price . longer tubes then the factory cast unit. but all i care about is the fact they work and went on easy. 3 hours both sides on a lift at work. plus being a split flange less stress on the 8 mm studs that hold them on to the heads. not like the big 1 piece cast iron load i took off.
as i was working for vw for so long i saw a lot the old 5 cyl. motors poping end studs like some users have had with their v10's. i don't think i'll see that now.
