Headers on a 98 4.6

[RustyCJ]

1998 f150 4x4 4.6 triton.
I replaced one manifold a couple years back ($140.) and now I noticed that the other one is starting to go. Was thinking about headers and Summit racing has their cheapies for $199. Question is will these match up to factory downpipes that all ready have the o2 sensors in them? Or am I going to have to change exhaust pipes also.

Pretty sure they will.. But get some nice gaskets a.. The ones that come with em suck

Gaskets got it.
Just occurred to me that there is an egr tube coming off the left manifold. Have to look into that as well.

shorty's will match, just make sure to get the ones with the required provisions for emissions, and quality header bolts. (and the gaskets like Chris said)

Ok thanks.
So the Summit kit that comes with gaskets and hardware may not be the best choice if im looking to get better gaskets and bolts.
Thanks for the info.

I actually am still using the bolts from my cheap summit shorties in my long tubes.. No issues..
