Talking exhaust help

Hi every one great forums very helpful. I have a 95 f150 sc 5.8 with leaky exhaust manifolds, does any one have suggestions on shorty headers and exhaust. Previous owner put on a helix power tower and air hog filter, I think i need to make this truck breath better.

edwardo... did you notice any performance loss or gain between the BBKs and the stock manifolds. I got a pair back at Christmas time but haven't put them on. I wonder if I should just sell them on Ebay or something. I currently have basically the same setup you do.

I have been told that running shorty headers wakes up the 5.0 and 5.8 trucks.
