    In need of 5.0 Headers

    Does anyone have a set of torque monster headers for the 5.0 they're willing to sell? I have a cracked manifold and the raspy sound is killing me! I've read that the OBX headers and Maximizer Headers aren't worth it but are there any other options in 2021? Thanks guys.

    Headers questions

    Is there a difference between the SOHC and OHV headers? I have a 98 explorer 4.0 OHV. It seems like when I find a place that has them online it specifies SOHC or it just say 4.0 kit. In addition, ranger headers? same difference, will they fit on an explorer?
