Yup, go densecharger if you dont care about looks... if you want something that just looks pretty nice, go with the bbk fenderwell chrome cold air intake..

As far as headers, do you want long tubes or shorties? BBK is always a trustworthy brand for either... Do you already have a cross pipe and mufflers?

Don't get BBKs. They seal like crap.

For headers, I recommend Ford Motorsport ceramic-coated shorties. They're stainless steel and have a lifetime warranty. They also have a flat flange (no "sealing ring" around the port), which allows the use of Bassani gaskets, which are stainless steel with graphite inserts--never had one blow out yet! Additionally, we sell our own header bolts with SurLok washers to prevent loosening or backing out.

Not to argue, but, Mine sealed up fine... but it was a bit of trouble getting one of the exhaust ports' bolts lined up... (bought them used)

Mine seal fine at the heads. The problem is where it connects to the crossover pipe for me. I just think BBK products are generally cheaply made. Thats why they're so inexpensive compared to other brands.

I've heard of people plumbing there superchargers with this someone even went ahead and used it on a turbo. Haven't heard much after that about it.

I wouldn't use it on a turbo but maybe on a supercharger.

if you want shorty headers go with JBA ceramic coated. They will make the most power. For Long tubes I think Bassani is the best period. If you go with shorties also get a Bassani X pipe. As far as intakes go, the Anderson NA power pipe is most likely the best because it puts the Mass air meter into the fender. If you choose to go conventional the densecharger is a great way to go for the second most power, BBK is nice but I don't like their label all over the product, Mac's pipe is nice and clean with no brand names on it. Although if you don't go with the anderson pipe I think the best thing to do is to get the C&L truflo inlet pipe keep the stock air box, take out the air silencer and throw in a K&N.
I think this is about all the info you need
