Hedman makes some. Pretty sure Brett (fishEH) has them

Can I maintain my stock exhaust? Well it's not exactly stock. I cut out the muffler and replaced with a flowmaster 40 series and cut off the resonator.

I don't think any headers work without a modified you pipe

I have the Hedman headers and the exhaust is all custom. I don't think it would be possible to make them work with a stock exhaust.
There really probably isn't much to gain with them, but my truck sounds badass.

Holy crap that's loud hahaha. Idk if I want mine to be that loud. It sounds good, but I like how mine has a nice rumble but it's not an eye turner. I may just order some stock exhaust manifolds. They are all around the same price. Is there any benefit to getting the hedmann or toddco headers? I mean like since there is no noticeable gain are they at least stronger and less prone to cracking? EDIT: I think it may be a head gasket now that I've been watching some videos. It sounds like an exhaust manifold leak but from what I have read and seen on videos it's a sound coming from the passenger side of the engine bay. I guess I'm going to do a compression test then get a block tester.

There's some benefit but IDK that's its worth all the effort if you're not doing other work anyways. I needed a new exhaust anyways and found a guy selling they whole set up. So I got the headers, custom y pipe, high-flow Magna Flow cats, and Borla SS cat-back exhaust for about $300.
Its definitely louder than stock. It doesn't bother me too much, but everbody's comfort level is different. The most I've driven it at one time is about 6 hrs highway. The KM2 tires have a nice drove to them too. I just turn the volume up on the radio.
I was also on the gas pretty good in that video.

Installed an RTE a-arm spacer (thanks Brett) and adjusted my new links. Stretched the rear end out a little bit!

Also have pretty much everything I need to upgrade the power steering to a Saginaw P-series pump. I will need to work out a few things and machine some spacers but the main compenents are ready to go.
