Headers
I will be in the market for an f150 before long, and I have been trying to find parts for the truck so I know what is available. Thing is, I have seen no manufacturer who makes long tubes for these trucks. I have seen some really high dollar long tubes for the lightnings, but I was really leaning toward the 4.6. Will the 4.6 long tubes from a mustang fit? Has anyone tried this? I know JBA makes shorties, and I am really impressed with the quality and fit of the JBA's on my Ranger, but I really like the idea of long tubes. Hit me with your best shots

I'm not sure if MAC has headers for them or not. Check macperformance.com and see what they offer. I bought a set of headers from them for my 5.0 Mustang years ago. They have never blown a gasket(even though the bolts have worked loose a couple of times) because they make a quality product. My headers are nickle plated and turned a little blue but have never rusted. I don't know if they still offer the nickle plating anymore.

I have heard someone mention JDM/Kooks, someone had them on a 4.6 or 5.4L Triton engine in a '97+ F150, they were ceramic coated long tubes. I have no idea where a guy could get any more info on these. All the other brands I've seen have been shorties.

Yes, the JDM/Kooks were the high dollar long tubes for the Lightning that I was refering to. The problem there is that the 5.4 deck height is almost 1.5" taller than a 4.6. The tubes for a 5.4 would be too low mounted on a 4.6.
