What's the difference between 5.4 headers for a 2wd and a 4wd? I've noticed that they are a always listed separately when I'm looking at them. Plus my trucks 2wd.

Heads? Not sure who's talking heads, -what do you mean? Talking heads..get it?

I guess I assumed you had the 4x4 since there's absolutely NO install problems on the 2wds. Not sure where your getting you info from ? First I've heard and I've been around a while lol.

I'm not you, -so it helps a ton posting what your driving. Impossible for me to remember everyone's truck. I would be a champeen if I could.

There's a way to do this and save a bunch of money, but I'm sure I've explained in one of your other exhaust threads. If not your, many others.

I wouldnt put Pacesetters on a 4.6. They are 3" and will kill the bottom end power dramatically. I have them on a modified 5.4 and noticed the power moved up.

That's what I was worried about at first, - figured I'd get it tuned if I lost any. Luckily I got more out of it with just the factory tune. I welded the cats right to the headers, - from Troyer 3x2.5 converters, -reduces at the rear. Great low end, better than factory that's for sure. The entire system is balanced, - no non fowlers and no harness extensions, no tune adjustments. It's my favorite mod, picked up 6 seconds, - on vidjeo.

But yea, you can screw all that up if the back half of your system isn't set up right.

You can get the OBX in 3" now as well.

It isn't the collectors that move the power-band, - it's the Y. Some have used that 3" off road pipe combo or 3" thru the Y.

At the collector , where the primaries converge, = 3 is better than 2.5. You just reduce right after...back to 2.5.
