Replacing exhaust manifolds
I have a 2004 F250 xlt 5.4.
I'm asking here because I'm really not sure about this part I found on ebay. It says up to 03, and I have an 04 but it looks like the exact fit.
I really want to put on headers at the least expensive price I can find and these seem like a.deal to me.
Anyone know if these are any good, or if they will not fit my truck?

Or if anyome has any suggestions that would be appreciated very much. My manifolds are about to rot off...

I went through hell with my v10 manifolds, finally bit the big one and went with the Banks header and y pipe, Man it was worth every penny. Don't cheap out on headers, The manifold bolt issue has been my main and only real trouble with my Triton v10, fix it right the first time and save the headaches.

Appreciate the replies. I guess I will save up and get what you guys suggest. Like that saying, " i don't have enough money to buy the cheap stuff, sinice in the end you end up spending more".
I expect getting the manifolds off will be one heck of a job without cracking the bolts in half since they look completely rusted through as is. But it's a good truck so I'm going to do whatever I can.
I do have some experience rebuilding engines, rebuilt about 5 by now. Not this engine in particular, but similar.
I expect I will be able to get to this by mid September.
Again, appreciate your input.
