lightning headers vs N/A 5.4l headers

can someone tell me the difference??
seems that there are special headers for lightning motors than for non-supercharged.
do they sit differently in the engine bay?

thanks

Thicker primaries for the supercharged ones, and longer collectors since they're 2wd.

the stock manifolds are different, the 2 wheel drive trucks with the 5.4 use the same headers...

Yes, now if you use the OBX xystem you'll want to add a Y pipe or continue with true duals

yea i noticed that obx's lt's for the lightning are true dual vs the y pipe.

in the event that i order a pair, which i will eventually, ill get the obx lightning ones
then buy an x pipe and eventually decide on a muffler.

thanks
