Not true. When headers are hooked up correctly with good quality gaskets, and fasteners not overtightend... they work flawlessly.

Yup...

To the OP... if your truck is not lowered where you're layin' frame. Just get a set of long tube headers that actually were made to fit the truck you have. Headman Hedders makes some great street headers for these trucks, that come either painted black, or 2 different ceramic coatings. They fit and work great. I have them, on my truck.
