Does Pacesetter offer longtube headers for a 2003 F150 with a 4.6. I hear conflicting data when I ask around. One website says the 72C2226 will fit the 4.6 and the next person will tell me no. I'm not sure and I don't want to purchase unless they work for sure.

Thanks,

Bixbystx

Bend only?? I thought that one tube had to be cut and turned or?? I got that from flatsman, and he was using 5.4 Dynatechs on his 98 4.6.

If you can't find long tubes, stick with your stockers. The shorties are not worth the time or money for the little gain you will see.

trimmed the top of the motor mount about 1/8th of an inch off on either side. bent 2 tubes about 3/4 of an inch in on the drivers side and 3 tubes about an inch over on the passenger side to clear the starer.
