Exhaust manifolds to headers
Hey all. I have a 98 F150 4x4 Super Cab 4.6 auto that has a leaking exhaust manifold. I changed both manifolds about 3 years ago and the passenger side bank is leaking again. I haven't gotten into yet to see if its just the gasket or the manifold itself. My question is does anyone know of a set of headers I can put on the truck that will bolt up to the existing exhaust? If I make the switch to headers I don't want to have to redo the whole exhaust system.

Shortys offer very little, if any, in way of performance improvement. Long tube headers will, but as you are aware, they will prompt the need to redo the entire exhaust. to really better harvest the performance improvements from long tubes you'd also benefit from a tunner that can take it all into account
