Although I just put on a set of Hedman headers about a year-and-a-half ago I knew that eventually I wanted to go to a long tube header they gave me a little bit more torque for Towing. What I knew I wanted and finally bought was the banks torque tube system. The system is rather pricey but you do get 409 stainless with 5/8 inch flanges. What that does is allow you to bolt it to your smooth surface head without any gaskets. The installation was done on a 97 F250 HD. This truck has the 7.5 liter or 460 cubic inch big block with a e4od transmission. Although this is one of the last OBS Ford's that was produced in 97 this installation can be roughly followed going from 1988 all the way until 1997. Of course from 93 to 97 this would be almost identical between those years. Now in my case I removed all the smog equipment so I did not need the air injection tubes nor did I have to worry about my air pump or catalytic converter. Instead of buying what they call their stinger system which is a cat back exhaust, I decided to go with a flowmaster Force 2 system. One that is specifically made for F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks with the 5.8 or 7.5 which is also known as the 351 or 460 cubic inch. I've always had good luck with Flowmaster and in this case there is no reason to think that I'm not going to be a satisfied as I have in the past with the longevity of the exhaust. The fit was very nice and I was glad that I didn't have to go to an exhaust shop and pay to have it bent. The performance of the truck so far is exceptional there is a much smoother acceleration so much so that my wife even noticed it when I took her for a ride. The torque comes on smoothly and is across a wider band. Although this was in a step-by-step installation video I think that most of us that are trying to install these headers can follow the instructions and do it yourselves I just wanted to point out a few things that I came across and that it may make a difference whenever you're doing yours that you need to pay attention to. Thanks for watching.
