Default Headers/off road H pipe

What are some quality brand for headers and off road H pipe that will not completely kill my wallet? These kids will be going on a 14 5.0. Thanks in advance!

I like stainless works a lot. jba is another good one, stainless steel also. better prices than kooks headers without mids lol(1k). id stay away from bbk and pypes, that's just my opinion though

Best bang for your buck when it comes to figment and quality is stainless works

New here of course but wanting to put LT headers and off-road h pipe as well. I currently have a Pypes cat back, can I use a different brand for headers and mid pipe other than Pypes? I have a 2013 GT

Yes you can. I'd honestly stay away from pypes headers. The figment is horrible.

Just out of curiosity, why do you say to stay away from Bbk headers? I'm new to these kind of mods so I do not know lol

In my past experience the firmament is horrible. They won't line up. I've had to redrill all the flange holes to get them to fit. In my opinion that's poor quality

Stainless Works has the best bang for your buck IMO. There are some less expensive systems but if this is a DIY job with jackstands then I would pay more for proper fitment. I'm getting where laying on my back on the garage floor puts me out of commission for about a week.

I run stainless works and have installed upwards of 150 sets of long tubes on the coyotes. Kooks and American racing headers are elite but high dollar, stainless works also very high quality with a price ideal for us as consumers. Jba is not too bad and priced accordingly. Bbk you'll really save and I feel like there drill isn't set on level ground at the shop lol. I'll do one set zero problems and the next set give me hell on the flange holes. Good luck with your decision

I believe I will be going with the Stainless works setup! Now I have another question?... Should I go 1-7/8th's or 1-3/4? I have mild boltons?
