I have built side pipes for a few cars in the past as well as our newest demo with the 4.6. It is no easy task and can take days to make up that first set of headers & side pipes. Unless you have a true bender like a Ben Pearson and a few years of making exhaust pipes at a muffler shop it is in my opinion not worth all the work. Figure 2 or 3 days at 50hr x 16 or 24 hours plus material wasted on pipes that don't fit, then having to clean the pipes and paint them, coat them or pay to have them chromed and you can get an idea why.
