Ok need some advice guys. My exhaust manifold on passenger side is warped and leaking. Need to replace so I have decided to go with headers (short so they bolt up) any experience replacing them or any brand y'all recommend?

Heard good things about those, also heard horror stories about putting them in. Do you run those on your truck?

Did they make a difference in the performance or just the sound or both?

Not much for all that work! But probably helps with other mods. Planning on a custom tune so any little bit helps. The question is would you do it again or go with stock ones if they need to be replaced? And if long tubes were not available
