Questions:
Why doesn't either TQ or HP fall off on dyno runs?
Why does TQ line fluctuate so much?
Is there a warranty?
Will there be a printed gain in HP and TQ one can expect on a stock 4.6?
How much is left for porting?
Do the collectors line up to the stock exhaust location?
Will there be a tune available to compliment the header performance?
I was going to try and answer all these questions but I'd sound like a broken record if I said "I don't know" to each.

If I have time/money I'll install these on a stock 4.4 and then my wagon's 4.6 with nothing behind the headers but miles of pipe. No cats, no m5 resonator (I'm trying to figire a way to cut and weld two small mufflers together with a cut-out just before them but I might keep the resonator for now)

I will ask Jed though. He just now is moving his shop so I'm not sure how long the response will take. Good questions however.
