Nice!! Did you have to change the y-pipe also? Also, what's the best place to get them? I seen you have the 4.0, does yours have the egr tube from the manifold also?

Re: Headers??
My truck does not have the EGR. On my 97, I just blocked off the egr spot on the headers

I didn't ask for your personal opinion about if it was a waste or not. I asked what kind are good sets. When I want your advice on my financial matters ill ask.
As far as a performance build, it's in the works and I have to buy one thing at a time. I have three kids and a mortgage to worry about too!

It's not necessarily a waste if you do the right upgrades to be able to use the full advantages of headers. A 3.0 can be a beast with the right upgrades.... Don't get me wrong a 5.0 would be a lot better, but I like my 3.slo...lol
