$100 WITH shipping? Youre not ganna find a good name brand pair of headers for that. But you can find decent Ebay brand headers and performance parts for $100 & under. Probably the same quality as any of the same brands you mentioned, they just dont carry a warranty.

just keep your ex header. they flow the same as megan and dc. if you want some gain, great more expensive ones like greddy or comptech.

the greddy is decent, but you won't get much without having a larger collector than stock.

a cheap header is a waste of money, some stock manifolds flow better than a cheap header, save your money and wait to get a good one, ive got a megan racing one and its going straight in the dumpster once i can afford a bisimoto one

Headers on a stock f-series won't give you the power bump you are expecting. The factory exhaust manifolds are pretty efficient. The more expensive premium brands have more R&D and there are more likely to produce more power. But those also come with a steeper price.

If you really want a header, buy a E-bay type cheapie. It'l work and you'll have it for under $100 shipped. Fitment may be an issue, but its nothing a little muscle and determination won't fix.
