Default 2013 f150 5.0 Upgrade

Does anyone know if stock headers from a 2011 Mustang GT will fit a 2013 F150 5.0 without to many problems?

Question

Define fit.

Do you mean without alteration and direct-connect to the F-150's front-pipe/catalytic-converters?

In general the futzing and installation of short-tube headers aren't worth the gain (if any). If you're looking for performance, bite-the-bullet and go long-tube.

I thought I answered this already but I guess I forgot to hit send.

They bolt to the engine but require new pipes to be made to fit the collector. They don't clear the factory frame, but good use of a rose bud and a c-clamp will fix that.
