Ok well I did a quick search and couldnt really find anything that helped me much. But I wanted to know in your opinions, what would be the best headers to use on our 5.0 motors? Of course I would want it to be shorties. I have heard some good things about equal length headers. Or since my motor is pretty much stock and I dont plan on touching the motor should I just leave the stock headers be? The most I plan on after that as far as exhaust goes is maybe a high flow h. And leave the stock catbacks because I dont really want a loud car. I hate exhaust drone since my driving is always highway. Thanks guys.

Hands down long tubes.

And everyone Ive heard of that has equal lengths hates them because they always get burnt wires and stuff.

I have shorties and they dont do much at all, leave your stockers on there since you arent looking for more sound, longtubes are the only headers that should go on there, but they are not emissions legal.

Taking into account everything I saw you say

I'd not go with any header
and
Stay with the oem manifolds like you talked about

besides ... you won't hardly feel any gain with headers

Now ... If you wanna mod you will ... REALLY FEEL

Step up the ratio of your gears
