yes i have a pair of pacesetters from summit. helped fuel economy slightly and some hp and tq gain but nothing to write home. depends on what you are trying to do with you truck performance wise.

I had pacesetter headers, shorties are a waste of money, especially pacesetters... they cracked 3 times, then the collector fell off... JUNK. I gained 0hp and 0torque on the dyno... I installed dynatech long tubes and gained 30hp and 35ftlbs

does anyone know if the 4.6L 4x4 have long tubes at all? I know dynatech says they make them but apparently they dont fit.

yeah if you dont get long tubes, dont waste money on shorties, I learned the hard way when the dyno showed absolutely no gain...
