$268 sounds awful tempting. i bet shipping will be high though. I would check on the "shipped" price of both before I decided though.

Check TruckPerformance.com They have some Gibson nickle chrome for the 99+ for $279 right now. And you know you'll be getting decent quality.

Arizona Speed and Marine headers rock! Excellent product and nice gains. Onyl drawback is they do cost a little more. But they are a good setup! Another route to go is Other Guys Headers. The flanges on those things are super thick. Anyways, I dont know wether or not I am breaking some rule here but head to www.tbyrnemotorsports.com they have pretty good prices on their stuff. JBA makes really good stuff too. Just remember to get LT's. Depending on how much you want to spend, I would personally stay away from shorties. For what you pay they dont get the numbers like long tubes do. A friend of mine put some Gibson shorts on his truck and they yielded some good power gains. Most of it I noticed to be on the top end.

The Dynomax Ceramics are great headers. I have a set on my 1980 Silverado, put them on six years ago - no problems since. The old cheappie ones have a tendency for the flanges to warp and then they have exhaust leaks.
