Looks great! Just spent the last few days doing this to mine. Finished fabbing the pipes today (fingers crossed that they don't leak) and the inlet clamp to the spider is the wrong size!
What part number is the clamp? It seems that I have to order one from Ford or buy one from a list member send me a PM if anyone has one.

Are you refering to the new (little wider) V clamp between the turbo and the early 99 Y pipe? if so this is the part #
V BAND clamp retrofit IC: F81Z-8287-DA Motorcraft: YF-2488
Yes you can, they are actually the easiest to use, but still take some modifying.
I had two sets lying around. One aluminum the other steel. Ended up adding two and a half inches to both but in different areas. Taking the inner fender out on the passanger side is worth the effort as you have good access to the lower clamp.
Thanks for the part numbers roentgeep. The v clamp on the stock y pipe is too narrow and the ford dealer wasn't any help.
It knocked about 100 degrees off peak egts. (but the pipes are leaking too, so it should cool off more once the leaks are fixed)

I added about 2 1/2 inches to each pipe (about) depending on how the cooler is mounted will determine the length of your pipes.
