Congrats! KB's are awesome. As long as the kit is complete, have all the right fuel components, spark plugs, tune, etc...you should be good to go.

Long tubes will produce better results, especially on a forced induction setup.

I dont know 100% about shorties helping performance on the 4.6's. I know with the 3.8's they do NOTHING for you besides lighten your wallet of money. You should problem stick to a post cat system (new mufflers, over axles, and tips) as you cannot do LT's and you have to have all 4 cats per smog.
