On the 5.4 with tune long tubes can be good for up to 30whp.

What! That's a tremendous gain! What size primary tubes are ideal for long tube headers on the 5.4? Does pace setter offer the ideal dimensions?
I've got a very slight leak on my passenger side starting, and if I go into repair it, then I'm going in with long tubes...

IDK. I figured it was moot with the blower on top. I do however need a big *** muffler. this is too loud. Its louder than trailer trash straight pipes

Look at you whining about how your blower whines!... First world problems! Lol!

The price of the pace setters is good enough for me to not chase a possible perfect primary tube diameter. I'd probably wrap them in header wrap to keep them from rotting out... I just don't think its worth passing up on those kind of gains, to put the same problematic header back in...

30hp!? Are you positive of that increase? If so I'm buying some ASAP.
