Post what type of headers?
Looking to put some aftermarket headers on my 96 351w f150. Anyone else put some on and if so what did you get and how much? Long-tube or shorty's?

4x4 Shorty (cant fit long-tubes on a 4x4)

4x2 Long-tubes.

Price will very on the quality of the headers. I got mine long tubes for $150 but didn't fit every well out the box.
