www.stans-headers.com. Look for them in stock headers, ford, p/n 269. contact numbers on web site. Expensive, had to fabricate crossover pipe to Y and then used a 94-97 PS 4 inch exhaust. with ram air I have power to spare, really happy with the set up. (not as expensive or complicated as a turbo, not as much power or head gasket or oil leak problems as comes with a turbo but was worth the expense IMO).

Hey KJ did you see a increase in MPG as well as power? Did it give you much more power going up hills? Have been thinking about them for my van.

With an empty truck it almost always dropped into 3rd going up hill from 4 th on the highway I tend to drive once in a while, the last time after I added the headers and 4 inch exhaust, it stayed in 4 th unless I kicked it down to pass. Overall milage I dont think has changed much, however most of my driving is in town, highway though worked out around 21-22 mpg (imperial). Ram air intake, headers and 4 inch exhaust, definately more jam, pick up and power. I did a rough 1/4 mile check and I figure I've gained 35-40 HP over stock.
