Long tube header fit question

I am thinking about putting full length headers on my 93 full size bronco.

Has anybody done this to there Bronco or f-150? What fit troubles will i run into? Is it possible to run true dual exhaust?

I have a ton of questions i am just curious if anybody could help out.

My Bronco is:
93 Full Size
5.8L Automatic transmission
Off Road package
Towing package

If there is anything else you need to know to help me out just ask.

Thanks for everybody that helps.

well ive never installed long tubes on a 5.8, but i helped my friend install shorty headers on his. they can be a little bit of a pain to get to, but when you compare them to the late model trucks, theyre a breeze to install. as far as true duals, its possible to install them, as long as theyre legal in your state. which headers were you planning on using?

Hooker long tubes.
The problem i have running into is how or where do you put the O2 sensor? and if i take the cats off will the truck run normally? I have heard that it will not. This is a big concern.

The older trucks like ours will run fine without cats, beause the original o2 sensor was placed before the cats anyways

O2 sensors is no problem. dynomax and heddman both make collectors for headers with O2 bungs already in them. all you might need is an extension for the wires. call summit racing and ask them about it, they'll tell you how to do it. as far as running with no cats, i ran my 89 with no cats for a while with no problems whatsoever.

I got longtubes, no problems.

You should do a search in this forum on Exhaust and see what you come up with.

I have long tubes, NO PROBS. I put the O2 sensor n the right header. Removed all smog system components. Even removed the pump and ran a shorter belt.
