Unhappy Merry X-mas to me!

So I took my truck into the dealer on friday for state inspection and for a blowen header gasket. To my surprise if failed inspection because I dont have a blown header. I have a cracked header.... So now x-mas comes early and I get to buy a new set.


Sooo..what do you guys recommend, Im thinking of ceramic coated but im not sure. Should i go that way or going stainless steel? What about LT, IDK if i want LT or shorties again. Do i need to do anything to install LT? Any disadvantages with LT?

Loss of low end torque is unacceptable in a pickup truck.

Honestly, how often are you going to use the high end torque?
