88treadbrite_150_4spd,
How well do they fit? Any problems you ran into? 4WD application? I already have duals and was wondering if these babies will fit. It says they fir the stock y pipe so I guess they will fit my stock y pipe. Will they fit with 4WD and manual shifter?
BTW it says they are for 1996 F150's does it matter that much? Will it fit on my '94?

One more idea...
I know an exhaust leak sounds pretty obviouse, but I had a "ticking noise" towards the back of my engine. I had just installed FMS shorty headers, and just figured they were coming loose near the back. Tighened them down, no effect. Tighened the stupid screw-in plug that ford outs on the back of the passenger side header, no effect.
Turns out, the tube that goes between each head and leads to the air pump check valve at the back of the block was rusting out, and it WAS and exhaust leak I was hearing. So maybe get a light and check that too, cheap fix.

It connects at the back of each cylinder head. Its for the emission system. Is about 5/8 in diameter and about 18" long, you can't miss it. Exhaust gases go through it from the thermacator bumps in your exhaust ports.

There is a bolt that connects the tube to each head. Can be tough to get to it if the firewall is close or if other components are in the way.

Is that the little pipe that goes into your exhaust underneath? Because if it is I don't think it's that. It's just an air hose.
Also if this means anything guys when I rev it up the noise goes away. So does it sound like an exhaust leak now?
I'm getting some headers anyways. But I would like to fix this problem.
