It says it bolts right up to the stock down pipe and keeps the cats in the same spot. Will I have any gain from these? They're about $210

I have the pace setters on my 02 4.6L
There was a noticeable difference in the power (not a ton, but enough). The only mod I had to make was with the EGR tube. It didn't line up, so I had to cut it, line it back up and TIG weld it.
Personally, I should have put the stainless on it because I live in Michigan and the salt is killing them. They made it the first winter and this will be the second winter.
I had them powder coated with high-temp powder, but that lasted about 2 days... waste of money.

So yours fit fine on the 4.6? I was thinking of order long tubes but i was not sure if the 5.4 would fit. I know they are same block and such. The deck hieght is the only difference any clearance issue?
