Default Long tube headers

I am beginning to shop for a long tube header and y-pipe kit for my 2005 4x4 ram1500 with the 5.7 hemi.
What experience has everyone here had? Any brands you recomend? Or any i should stay away from?
The most important quality i am looking for is fitment. I don't want to be doing a lot of hammering and prying to install them.
I am leaning towards the dynatech supermaxx kit. Does anyone have experience with these?

I have had great luck with the pacesetter long tubes. Figment was great and a good quality product for the price.

6 years on my hedman lt's w/ no cats. half was with a single 3" y setup with rear o2's turned off via custom tune. The next 3 years is current 3" DI/DO and using non foulers for rear o2's. no issues with fitment and has been on and off numerous times. this is on a 2wd application. no codes and have past emissions by OBII check.

Where did you get the tune to turn off the o2 sensors? I am still using the predator tuner and I haven't seen that option, not that I have looked for it either. There is no smog testing where I am so I may just skip the cats as well. Are the hedmans made with the 304 stainless?

Turning off O2s is only available with custom tuning. I also have mine disabled and LTs w/o cats

Where did you get the anti foulers from? I've been looking around and the seem to be a one size fits all? Or are the model specific?

Size is 18 x 1.5 and you can get them at local auto part stores. Check out the FAQs, How To and DIY section
