1997 4.6L headers

I've only been able to find headers from Hedman and JBA for my 1997 4.6L F150...I already tried Hedman once, and the seal at the collector had a hole in it (that I didn't catch), so I wasted a lot of time putting them on/taking them off...I sent em back and put back on the manifolds (the hell with it, I said)...the JBAs are too expensive for me...

So, my question is...if I could find some affordable headers for a 4.6L SOHC mustang, what kind of conflicts could I possibly face?

Thanks in advance.

As for running stang headers, expect the Y pipe to not bolt up, and you will have to purchase a new one. There might also be frame interferences. It makes sense to buy application specific units. Headers are not an area where you want to skimp on price/quality. You will kick yourself when you start to get problems, and could potentially cost you more in multiple purchases.
