Question headers?

I have a 03 qc 4X4 with the 5.9 magnum rare i know. I am looking for headers to give me a bit of a increase in power for towing. I would like to get the short ones so i don't need new exhaust, but I cannot find too many listed on sites. Any help is appreciated!

it looks like the kit comes with the bolts and if you wanting some more power for towing check out a tuner here it does wonders for the 5.9L

I have had the hypertech for a few years but can only run the regular tune because of pinging issues, even with 93 octane gas. My gas mileage did increase from 10 to 11.5 with the programmer i hope the headers will increase it a bit more!

Ditch the hypertech and try the flashpaq. It claims over 40 hp for the 5.9.

yeah the SC is way better for the 5.9....i'd deffinitly look into getting lockin header bolts otherwise get some RED locktite and put some on the bolt threads when your putting the headers in, tighten em down and you'll be solid
