well I got it all put together!, it took about 10 hours to install the headers cats and full exhaust, all I can say is WOW what a PITA!!!!!!!!. This install is not for the faint hearted , this is one that you need a lift! exp on a 4X4 truck, after the 7 hours on taking off the old and putting in the new the truck sounds like a BEAST! open headers this 5.4 3V sounded BAD ***! I'll have many pics up later on tonight I'm still waitin on some O2 extention wires " they don't tell you that you need them" but all in all the Pacesetter headers are great just a PITA to put in

And a big thanks to Huitt24

 

nice cant wait for the pics

 

coooooool beans, looking forward to the pics also.

 

looking foward to pics, sound clips, and mabye a dyno?

 

how much did they set you back?

 

Did you lift the engine up?

 

the price was 450ish coated and yes I had to lift the motor about 2 inches to get them to clear

 

Ok I put up some pics check out my gallery

look for some sound clips tomorrow

 

WAY sick dude! I have had my eye on this mod for a while. I bet it sounds wicked!


Bad ***!

 

I want to hear these beasts! I hope you got a clip of open headers, I'd rather hear that! I can't imagine this being too much louder than my setup is right now, same difference as removing 2 cats but I haven't heard headers on the 3v. Please get those clips put up soon, looks great Matt! Performance gains? I am done modding the engine for now but would like to know. And man your underbody is clean.

 

how do headers affect performance/noise?

 

261/320 before.. Cool.. another dyno run and you can see how much they helped approx. Of course different days, different #'s on the dyno, but still, it will give you an idea...

Hopefully 10-15 rear wheel.. or more.

 

that looks gorgeous!! cant wait to hear them

 

I was putting down 255/290 before the tune with just the exhaust so he should see at least 20 rwhp maybe more. looks great!

 

Did you dyno before and after w/long tubes or are you running shorty's.
