headers
I am going to be ordering a set of headers for my 03 scab with the 5.4 tomorrow, I know the benefits of long tubes vs short tubes. But what I want to know is if I go with long tubes do I need to get a full custom exhaust or is there a way to hook them up to the factory y pipe?

How much are the obx? And what about cats and 02 sensors? Or does it all just hook up in factory location?
Im having a hard time with this because the only thing ive ever put headers on was a pos Chevy when we swapped out the engine because it had a horrible rod knock.

They offer a catted y-pipe. They include o2 extension harness's for the front o2 sensors, and the rears are in the stock location. The OBX y-pipe ties in the exhaust right where the exhaust clamp is before the muffler..

Well I just checked out the obx and I wasnt really looking at spending the $500, I live in WI so I don't have emissions testing. Is there anything else similar to the obx set up but below the $400 mark?
Otherwise I'm just gonna get a set of shortys because my manifolds are leaking like crazy and I don't feel like going with the stock manifolds.

Shorty headers don't improve much. Nevertheless I'm going to put a set on mine. They bolt right up with no headaches. I found a set pretty cheap here : www.newlevelmotorsports.com
