Default Headers

I’ve got a 2014 f150 5.0 I’m wanting to do long tube headers on, I can’t find any videos or pictures of how long tubes look or a video of an install. Anyone have any experience with these trucks?

I have zero personal experience, but EVERYTHING I have read/heard is that long tubes are a nightmare to install. That you should plan for a full day install and a minimum of hours install time with lots of frustration.

Why do you want to install long tube headers?

The shop I work at would be able to do it in a day, basically just taking the cab off instead of doing complicated stuff below.

my current main concern is one of clearance, I don’t want them to be sagging below my trans and I can’t find any videos or photos showing how the fit after install
