5.0 Headers and Y Pipe
Seeing as how it will be a bit of time until the 5.8 project gets underway (That project keeps getting placed on the back burner.), I'm thinking about headers for the 5.0. I remember a while back I saw comments saying that the Summit truck headers SUM-G9035 were the same as the Pacesetter 70-1322 and fit rather well. Is this still true? Are there any fitment issues with the stock Y pipe? Also does anyone other than Bassani make a Y pipe for 3 inch exhaust preferably without cats since I may use my own? I might consider the Bassani Y if it can be made to fit up to 5.8 Headers easily, but I don't see that being the case. If the headers were interchangeable I'd go ahead and get JBA, but the configuration and EGR are different.

Is it possible to use 5.8 shorties with the stock 5.0 Y pipe and just not connect the EGR since it is done differently? I'm not sure in what year the 5.8 will finally get built. I started one for my old truck and then sold everything including the truck. Then I got this truck and then got another 5.8, but so much stuff comes up and I just never get around to working on the engine project. Who knows if it will ever get done. Lol...

That is good to hear. I thought maybe the orientation of the pipes coming up from the Y pipe was slightly different between 5.0 and 5.8, and thought maybe they wouldn't mate up to the header collectors.
