Default Headers

I want some headers. I have looked at a few different brands and types. I like to looks of the Banks headers but I just don't know. I would rather them proform then look cool. I have a 08 chevy 1500 4.8L can anyone please help me.

i dont believe flowmaster makes headers. they make awesome mufflers, but no headers. for headers, check out hooker headers, heddman headers, edelbrock, summit has thier brand for a decent price, but not so much for performace.

i put some edelbrock shorties on for now. but once i get my K&N air filter/cleaner, trick flows heads, and ignition upgrade ready, ill be switching them out to something else. plus, the shop i ordered them through got the wrong ones. they got them with AIR setup, and i dont have AIR on my truck.

So I know I am dumb. But do I have to get shorty's since I have a truck? Or can I have long tubes? Cause long tubes look a lot cooler.

do you have manifolds or stock longtubes? it sounds like you have shorty manifolds. so depending on where you live, if emissions will allow you long tubes, go for it. but you'll have to go custom from there. id love to put long tubes on mine, but cali has crappy emission standards.

I don't even know. I just have stock until my flowmaster muffler. I live in big bad *** TX but I don't know what the rules are. I just think that the long tubes look more bad *** you know. Where do I need to go to check that out at?
