Right, they are a waste of time. Might as well replace with dormans, it's easier, cheaper, - netting the same results. But yea, they do look cooler..if that's the purpose. Careful, don't melt your wheel well liners.

Pacesetters? I would toss those babies and go back to stock or get long tubes. Waste of time other than looks for someone who doesnt know the 5.4 platform. Had the same headers and the welds were awful and the 1/2" tubes were more of a restriction.

It'll feel like a brand new truck. My A/C "went out" at the same time. I spent the money on the front end first. A/C ended up being an electrical issue that also solved my cruise and power lock issue.

Hmm. Maybe come spring I'll get around to redoing the front end then.

I almost always use rockauto and amazon, easiest & one or the other is usually the cheapest. But if I remember I'll take pics as I go along & post them up.

I have been using rock auto for years. But Monday was looking at a turn signal switch. And am-autoparts was half of what Rockauto was. Shocked me for sure when I seen it was half price and free shipping. Shows parts will be here tomorrow.
Site is not the best to search parts on. Or its not for me, but for the savings. I will spend the extra few minutes and buy more.
