headers and a magnaflow cat???

Hey guys im doing some major work to my truck and im doing a set of headers and the magnaflow cats. I have a set of stock mustang 5.0L headers that im using and the dumps are a bit diffrent from the stock manifolds and i was wondering whats the best way to get the magna flow cat to line up with out killing myself?

These are what my headers look like.

We all have thought of using cheap mustang headers, and quite a few have tried to prove that they can be used. Yes they fit and can be used, but with a lot of work.
While they look like the ones you linked us to, they are not the same as you have found.
You'll need to cut and remake your y-pipe to fit the mustang headers. Also, stock mustang "headers" blow. Are you meaning aftermarket mustang headers or stock ones with the crimped pipes and stuff.

Did you buy a magnaflow cat or the whole ypipe with cat.

I have the whole Y pipe. Im not sure if there stock mustang headers or not. They might be something like MAC headers a freind gave me them off his mustang motor when he replaced his. Ive had them kicking around and figured they would be better then the stock manifolds that i had
