question on headers

Does anybody know if they make long tubes for my 03 f150 King Ranch SC 4x4. It has a 5.4 V8 in it.

Try a search, this is discussed every day. But go with Dynatech Long tubes, they are stainless steel, I have them, and i gained 30hp and 35ftlbs torque.

Hey built 54

i see you have a high flow cat, does that make any difference in the sound of your nice truck?

Its not illegal. Just cut all 4 off and replace with 2. The throttle body gave me more responce, about 8hp, but im sure with all the mods I have now, that the stock throttle body would be restrictive.

built54,

Did you have to change anything for them to fit? I believe that if you buy just the headers there is an O2 bung in the collector. Is that so?

An o2 bung is included with the headers in a small section of pipe that bolts to the collector. I didnt have to change anything, they fit perfect
