New and need help on Saleen

I have a 2007 Saleen F150 non supercharged that is completley stock. I am looking to put new intake, headers, and exhaust on it, but I have a few questions first. My main one is by putting these on will I reduce my power any? I know this seems stupid but I figured that Ford would have put on pretty decent equipment. Second would be what recommendations would the forum members make for the intake, headers, and exhaust. I want to keep the exhaust coming out the sides as it does already so I figured I would have to have custom exhuast put on since I can't seem to find one availible for purchase. Any answers/suggestions would be truly helpful. Thank you

If ya put long-tube headers with high flow cats you should pic up about 35 HP and 30 torque.
Do not wast your time and money on shorty headers. No power improvement!

A straight through muffler like Magnaflow is great for performance.

I can not for the life of me find long tube headers for my vehicle. The only ones I can find are the pacesetters off road. Any help on this?

Not sure of your motor but it you have a 3V 5.4 , Dynatech makes a set of long-tube headers to fit your truck.
Dynatech | 2WD

Or the Pacesetters say (off-road) because they have no cats. You could just add your own cats.

I saw the off road pacesetters, so if I got those I would just need high flow cats like you prieviously stated? My engine is 5.4.

Yes , put one Magnaflow or Bassani high flow cat on each side. Or whatever high flow you decide to go with.
That will work fine as long as you don't live in California.
The laws vary from state to state but Cali is the hardest on emissions.

agree

agree re the Dynatech Long tubes - best mod I've done after the SC. I really like what the efans did for my truck - there is a lot of rotating mass up there - going to the efans livens thing up.
have fun with it!
cheers
