The stock exhaust is short that I laughed. When they said, free flow they
meant it. Bruce? Bruce from F&B of san Diego??

Steven,
Yes indeed! So far so good with the stainless steel shorties! I like full
length even better, but for my truck in early 98, not avail, and for the
4.7s never available???
I havnt seen the 4.7s stock exhaust, but as I was cleaning up my garage I
found my stock 5.9 manifolds. They remind me most of the original street
hemi cast headers for 66. Not a bad design! (better than anything other
than the Hemi and the Max wedge pieces!) The exhaust aftermarket guys have
a tough job improving the flow over the stock manifolds..! As for the
crimped up stock exhaust tubes after the manifolds... Shame shame, very low
hanging fruit for an exhaust guy!
