I've only put 17 miles on them so far but am really liking them so far.
I was on my way home tonight from getting my tires mounted the wind was blowing pretty good. I had the cruise set on 65 going down a flat part of highway and as soon as i started up a small grade, barely noticeable, the truck downshifted and the wind started blowing me all over the place.
I think that's the second time I've ever had this truck downshift on a hill
Stay Safe Will.

Hey Pat, look at the Ford gaskets in the OBX header opening.

And FF's answer to what he used to do his install.

Stumped. Also you think O2 extensions will be good enough ie no connectivity problems? Not wanting to do a splice.

Thanks bud 
Not sure how I did, but I put some study time in for a few hours
Be safe 
I still feel like there is a vibration near 70+ I don't go that fast with them anymore, so I'll live with it. I don't know if it because I get more steering wheel feedback with such a larger tire width than what I had before?
I also WOT'd twice to keep the truck cleaned out. These things take off when tuned
Night
Test in my 8am and then a speech in my 9:30 class 
So annoying

It's in this post, the same one you quoted from me earlier.

You can see how the Ford gaskets don't match up with the OBX header. Not sure if it'll affect the seal or not.
Another thing Pat, can't find the Ford gaskets for $120, they are way cheaper on Tasca ford parts.
