Headers are the way to go.. They were best power gain on my truck so far...I would get the super 40's they seem to have a better tone than the regular 40...

I had a super 40 on a 300 six and it sounded GOOD, and it seemed to have more throttle response than just the glass packs. I just didn't know what to do on the big block.

Only 1/2 a mile??? I'd really hate to cap off my straits, but I think I'm going to have to. I had a glass pack on it for a while, and it didn't have much of a tone. It had a big block FlowMaster on it when I bought it, and you couldn't tell it from a stock muffler. It blew up on me when the EGR valve got stuck, thats when I said the heck with mufflers.

I'm with you on that. I ran a 3.5" cat back for several years with no muffler and it sounded great, nice and mellow, but not loud at all. The only thing 'muffling' was the cat. I recently removed the cat and man, that thing is loud now (as would be expected when running a straight). But the thing that I was surprised by was how much better the truck ran. I have removed cats on previous vehicles and yes it was louder, but it never made such a big noticable difference in the accleration of the vehicle.

Yeah, flowmasters have a decent sound. btw, pretty soon we'll be setting some sound clips on the site so u can hear the difference...
