Like the pic Sean, sorry if they are called something else, that's just what we call them around here. I know they make them for the older fords with a big block but havent seen many for the 92-96 style unless they did a BB swap

Oh, like gasser headers. Sorry, I don't know where you can buy them but you can get kits to make your own headers. It comes with flanges and various bends which you weld together.

I wasn't looking for any power gains or anything, I'm just building this truck as a project to see where it leads me and thought it would be cool to run side pipes since no one around here does. There is a custom exhaust shop about 2 miles away I may see if they can fab something up

just for easier fab,, buy or get a used set of shorties so they already have the exhaust flange and pray they dont charge by the hour, i spent almost 8 hours on the headers plus the exhaust.. lol

Lol this may be an expensive idea. Ill talk to them and see if they can come up with something, worst case scenario I'll just get a set of long tubes and run duals to dump out in front of rear tires like everyone else haha. Maybe you just solved the mystery of why no one around here runs side pipes. Hmmm
