WoW sounds awsome. Now he has mac boom tube axle back like me. He wants it to be loud but a good loud. Should he go with a o/r midpipe or a catted mid-pipe? He doesnt mind the smell if it isint that bad. *Any other info on the 2 headers i listed above would be great*

I have kooks, love them, they are actually mid-tubes, shorter than these you presented. Haven't heard than getting longer than that will do any better. The thing with the kooks is the clearance they have, look like stock on the ground.
Want to hear, catted long tube kooks with mid pypes? here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Ftc82mT7I
About 1 5/8 or 3/4? for me, depends, if SC it is in your future then the bigger ones, if not stay with 1 5/8.

No, no, no.... It's been dyno proven time and again that you actually lose power on a 4.6L engine with 1 3/4' inch headers.
The 1 5/8 on a Kenne Bell supercharged 4v in the book "Building 4.6/5.4L Horsepower on the Dyno" made more power through the 3400-6000rpm powerband than the 1 3/4 (12-15 more avg hp, 8-12 more avg ft lbs torque).
This is a supercharged motor pumping out over 600hp. Stick with the 1 5/8.

Not cause' they're "better" but because they match our engine characteristics better and perform better. Yeah, I guess they are just better!
. Exhaust performance is not all about tube size.
I've gotta check out those ARH's the way folks have been drooling over them!!
I'm happy with my JBA's and not planning to swap. What makes the ARH's so sweet?? Just wondering...

Ooooh, I see now. Just checked them out. 304 S/S and beautiful fabrication. Yeah, they make my JBA's look like junk [8D].
Beatiful header but I doubt they perform any better. Any they look like mid-length's. Are they??
