Lightning long tubes on 4x4
Looking to upgrade to a long tube setup and was wondering what to get. I already have a true dual setup wth shorties and was wondering if lightning long tube headers would work and be easier to install with my true duals. I think the lightning longtubes would end with two pipes instead of the Y that would come with correct kit for my truck. The lighnings have true dual if I am correct and that should line up alot better in my mind anyways. I am looking for a set with the mid pipe that I could connect to my existing duals. What would be the best kit for my setup. Was wondering about cats also. Should I get rid of all 4 of them and run mils or find a kit with the high flow cats installed.

not trying to beat a dead horse here, but i also have the lightning dynatech longtubes on my 03 5.4 4x4. i also had a previously installed true dual setup w/ high flow cats... i wound up having to cut them off, install the headers, and move them farther back. it was a real pain in the ***... anyway, just make sure you get o2 extension cables for the front two sensors.

I think he's asking about clearance issues with the lightning style mids hitting the tranny pan. Isn't there a problem with the clearance there? I can't answer, I have the lightning ones but mine is 2x2. Thought the deeper tranny pan hit the lightning style? NOt sure just asking, may not be the case.

Thanks for the responses. The mid pipes are what I was worried about. I have heard so many different things about if they will fit or not.
