ok i have a 2000 f150 with the 5.4 I want long tube headers.. just the headers no Y pipe or cats.. what are my options and can you send me some links..

 

dynatech long tubes are the way to go, you could try Kooks. the long tubes for the 2x4 and 4x4 are the same, so if you find some for a lightning, you can use them. I got mine from www.rpmoutlet.com, under the lightning section

 

I agree with Built on the Dynatechs, I just put a set of those on mine this weekend(the price is kind of high, but after they are on I wasn't complaining one bit). I had originally bought the Pacesetter LT's, but I sent them back after I saw them. They'd work pry, but after comparing them to the Dynatechs, the Dynatech's are built a lot better.

 

Ok thanks I just wasnt sure if the ones for the 4x4 would work also for the 4x2

 

I know with mine, I had to get the 4x4 kit so the exhaust after the cats would fit properly over the crossmember bar(on a '05, so might be different for you). If you are just getting headers though, I wouldn't think so. Worse comes worse, make a call to the company and make sure.

 

yes for the midpipes, you have to get it for 4x4, just the headers are the same for 2/4x4

 

quick question. i bought long tube headers and am sending them back bc the amount of work needed to fit them but will shorty headers fit without any modifications.... is it basically the same set up as the factory manifolds... thank you.. TIM

 

What modifications did you need to make?

 

ummm .. .shorty 5hp vs long tubes 40hp .. headers are alot of work but worth it in the end

 

ok this is my problem with the long tube headers.. i dont kno EXACTLY what i need to do the job... i kno i need to get rid of the factory cats but what do i need along with the high flow cats to complete the job.. altogether im thinking headers, x pipe, high flow cats and prolly need more pipes.. but idk how much or what pipes.. thats my problem.. i have a flowmaster si/do 50 series and need to rreplace my manifolds bc their shot... bad... so i bought the long tubes and then came to the conclusion that i dont kno what i need... i need to make sure i have EVERYTHING before installation... i cant keep my truck in the shop... if someone would take the time and let me kno what i need(hopefully from exprience) then i would greatly appreciate it... thank you

 

and does anyone kno the size of the original fuel injectors on the 4.6.. i have a 98 xlt... i dont kno anything about them or havent looked into it yet but wanted to look into getting bigger but nothing crazy... i dont kno if they will work alone of if i need something else to ensure the power... i have no clue.. thanks
