Question Header back exhaust completely lost

Completely**** OK i got these / http://www.jegs.com/i/BBK/129/35160/10002/-1 and im looking to see if these will fit http://www.jegs.com/i/Flowtech/387/53609/10002/-1 the old ones that bolt up to the headers are all rusted and leaking hardcore... but i cant find any for my truck so i found those and if they would bolt up i could bend the pipe to work... i was going to get direct oem replacement but i cant find it let alone it has 4 converters!!!! which isnt going to be cheap so i was going to get some collecters and run my own pipe and throw 2 high flow cats on there. Im so lost ive never seen a set up like mine. Truck is 1997 f150 5.4L ext cab

heres a high detailed drawing of what i have and what im trying to do

Why don't you just go with long tube headers instead? The goal your working too is the setup I have on mine. I had it installed but it was is bolt on kit and fits and looks great.

I really dont like having shops do work on my truck always liked doing it myself cuz i kno its done right, but i did check it out and all the shops i looked at said they cant bend SS or cant guarantee it woultn crease. Ive always dont cat back ehaust with ss no problems bending it with sand and torch. it was never a problem as far as custom fab goes, i just need to find something to fit initally on the header so i can go to work.


Well i couldnt get long tubes for mine the 1997 underbody unless i got them custom made.Every Y pipe i find only boltd up to your typical 3 bc pattern.

More power to ya then brother I was under the impression u were wanting a whole bolt on pre bent set up deal. But since u have the resources to bend the pipe your self then right on! I wish I could do it, but unfortunately living in an apartment has its restrictions
