I had LT's on my 2010 5.4L I loved the sound. I traded it in for a 2012 last June and I will not put LT's on this one. I am going to built me a set of shortys next year since no one wants to make them... Main reason for not wanting LT's is you will not get your money back when you sell since you need to tune out the O2 sensors. Ya the LT's will give some more HP but for me its not a big deal.

Where did you get your LTs from? So far the only ones if found are from stainless works but there pretty high on the price chart

I would do long tubes. There are Pacesetter headers with off road y pipes for around $500. a little more if you want ceramic coated vs black.
