Ive got a 95 f150 302 5.0 with a k and n cool air intake system and a flowmaster muffler. Im trying to decide on some hooker long tube headers and just not use a cat converter or just use shorty headers and a magnaflow highflow cat. i know the longtubes would be alot louder but i heard a truck on youtube with long tube headers on a flowmaster and it just sounded terrible it sounded like his truck was falling apart and i think it was like a 07 silverado but it may have been the camera or something. not having a cat is not a issue down here in alabama. the cops dont care at all! haha so if yall could give me some advice or suggestions that would be great! thanks!

I personally would go with the short headers and no cat , what type of flowmaster?

90customf150

Lts for low end. Shorts for mid-high

I thought long tubes were better at top end than shortys

im not for sure what kind of muffler i got it as a set with pipes and all and me and my grandpa put it on so i didnt realy get to pick but it is the american thunder system and im thinking it is the 50 series and thanks so do they make replacment y collectors with out cats to go on the shortys? if you know what im saying?

I honestly dont know, my truck is single 2.25" straight pipe with all stock piping, what I did with my truck was gut the first cat and used it as a y pipe, then nothing but 2.25" pipe side dumped before the rear passenger tire with a 7" tip, I still have the stock manifolds to

Yes they make replacement y pipes

Haha wow 7" tip! That's sick! Haha but thanks for the help I'll probably shortys and maybe just hollow out my cat

LT headers are better for low end torque..I'd go LT's with no cats. Don't do flowcrapsters...they are way overdone.

Open headers? Idk haha my mom would die if she heard that haha I live in a pretty snobby neighborhood and I probably couldn't get away with that with out my neighbors callin the cops haha but I love the way it sounds
