Default RE: headers

I have a pro kit with long tubes and I've bottomed out once over a huge speed bump and that's it.

Default RE: headers

shorties will match up as stock would. keep in mind that headers are very difficult to change on a 4.6.
everyone said it wasn't that big of a deal but 2 days later, after the start of the install, i had a header leak and had to take it to a professional anyways. good experience but major headache for 8 to 14 rwhp.

Long tubes are illegal in cali.
If you get long tubs get some bbk's from volpaz.com, that is where I bought mine. They were like 460 shipped.

Nah, your midpipe takes place of the factory cats. Your factory exhaust manifolds are just well... there.
