New headers and exhaust pics
Had some post pics requests so here are some
Here is the 30lb difference between the Borla SS and stock
The headers-
THere are two sets of gaskets I had - The stock Endelbrock and the Cobra - Lighting HP gaskets. Since the crush area on the Lightining gaskets matched the block I went with them - No issues after 20K miles.
I was very glad this was done on the stand and not in the truck. Major PIS even on the stand
Installed
Finished product--- Cheers Mike

No problems with heat build up at all. Of course my truck has a 3" body lift so you can see the headers in the wheel wells. Made a mess of the shiny motor so I would buy WW extenders IMHO next time. The Headers are Factory powder coated. Has not held up as much as well I would thought, there is some surface rust spots on them afet 20K or so.
One thing I mentioned in another post that started this all is my headers along with the lift, caused my 4x4 vacuum lines to lock the front diff to melt. If you g owith headers heat shield or reroute the lines...

I thouhgt that was odd. I recently found out is not "powder coated" or "ceramic coated" but a special heat activated coating. I was surprised to see surface rust so eairly. I may pull them back out when I do the cross over Y pipe with perf cats and take them to get them cermanic coated before they rust through.
Thanks for the heads up. I'ts a shame- they flow very and had great specs for the 5.4s.... Mike
