what headers is everyone running for performance, and best quality, long tube or short tubes?

Good quality headers are Tom Langdon's stovebolt cast iron headers(short). I would say they are "higher" quality. Clifford performance makes short and long tube headers(shown below are my short tube headers from clifford.) I would personally prefer short tube header because they can fit in tighter spaces and you have a better choice of exhaust route. Headmen make a set of headers for the chevy 6, but they are very poor quality. Hope this helps. T.J.

Hi verski,

Hi T.J. it's been about 6-7 years since I bought that seems like it was $160-$170 at Jegs, it may be a bit higher now though thanks...Vernski

68chevykid it depends on what you want to do with your truck, if you lower your truck long tubes will drag on the ground. Short tubes won't depending on how you route your pipes, and most exhaust shops can do that for you if you don't have a pipe bender. Here is a link to 6=8 and some headers, there are other places out there. https://www.cliffordperformance.net/ Or Tom Langdon's stovebolt I opted for Tom's cast iron headers because they don't leak and make ticking noises. I included a pic of the headers and Clifford intake. Good luck with your choice...Vernski
