cyl head, ---same
collectors--- check arh web site, i don't remember but 6.2 probably larger

Cool thanx, ill prolly order a set of the 6.2's for my 5.3 then so i dont have to worry about having to go bigger later. i think the y pip exits on the opposite side on the 6.2's thou? if thats the case ill just build my own.

y pipe is the same shape, should be bigger tubing.
flange to connect the exhaust to the y pipe is larger on the 6.2
if obx makes the stuff correctly to fit a 6.2, that is the only thing you should have to deal with.

not beat this to death
the collectors between the headers and y-pipe should be 3 "
the connection to the exhaust system on the truck will be 3.5 inch.

are these the ones you are talking about?
that image is flipped , the y-pipe would exit on the passenger side
also that image is probably 5.3 headers, doesn't look like 3" collectors
