01 5.4 4x4 long tube header options?

So I have an 01 screw 4x4 w/ lightning engine etc. Currently i have the pace setter LT headers on it. They are starting to rust and I think they are leaking, I have kind of a crackling popping sound when I hit about 5+ psi. I also noticed that whoever installed them had to dent them in to fit them around the front driveshaft. I think this possibly may be where they are leaking. When i looked at a new set of the pace setters they are only available for 4x2, not 4x4 trucks. So are there LT headers available for my year that are 4x4 compatible? Thanks!

as far as I know it's only the mid pipes that need to be changed when installing long tubes on a 4x4...

Would it help to take a pic and post it where it is too close to the driveshaft? Cuz it seems that that is before it gets to the mid pipes, but i may be wrong..

how about you look thru built54's thread, he's got 2 wheel drive Lightning headers on his 4X4 nd you might get the mid pipe info you need there

I have OBX, have had them I think 3 years, no complaints.

You could have a shop make you something that will clear the driveshaft.

I ordered my Pacesetters for 99+ 5.4L 4wd and the fit perfectly. That was back in 2007 and I haven't had a problem. I might still have my receipt w/part number , if you want it.
