yea pacesetters are worth the money, they make those in steel and their painted black but wont last as long as those right there, and they give you some dang good gains,

sweet no mufflers, gonna be a little louder than fordtruckin's
and im pretty sure they do, 4.6 headers are hard to find lol not many make 4.6 headers, if it was a 5.4 you could find whatever you want lol

Well the headers I posted above are the ONLY ones I have seen that fit a 2000 4.6 4x4..... Im thinking about 45 out the back... Or should I go straight out the back, or infront of the rear wheels. Or turn down under the truck so you cant see it?

really i like the 45 style thats what i have on my truck incase you havent seen my exhaust vid, straight back, i dont really like that because you cant see the tips as well, and before the rear tire i had that before this set up and didnt really like it to much so stick with 45 or 90

Ok so im going to wait on the headers... If I just do true duals no muffler, high flow cats and 45 will it be loud? Will the longtubes make it much louder?

So if I just buy 2 hi flows and take it to a muffler shop they will put them on and do true duals?

that set up you just said will sound something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9QSMtF5xeg

and headers will make it noticibly louder

and yea you buy 2 hi flows and take them to the muffler shop and they will cut the 4 cats off and put the 2 hi flows on, then tell him you want to run pipe back 45'd and put tips on it, then youll be set

well dude no mufflers and hi flows are LOUD!!!!! keep in mind that is on video in person its gonna be alot louder, and thats a 5.4 not a 4.6 my tips are 3.5"x18" you might wanna go 4"x18" since yours is 4x4, and 2.5" piping will do the trick

and yes headers will make it louder

longtubes give you about 30 hp and 35 lbs tq make the truck flow a little better, maybe gain a little mpg
