OBX headers are a COPY of the TMH they look alot like the TMH, same routing, same same just not as high quality especially on the JET hot header coating (would cost you $350-400 to walk into a shop and have a set of headers coated like the TMH are)

the 97.5-01 Explorer 5.0 has an EGR tube on top of the passenger side header, this is the exhaust gas sample tube for the EGR system. On the 96-97.5 engines the plumbing for the EGR is inside the lower and upper intake manifolds
This is a quick and easy way to see what heads the engine has. GT40 = no egr pipe (96-97.5), GT40p = EGR pipe (97.5-01)

The EGR fitting uses standard pipe thread fittings so making adapters or a plug for the EGR line is do able at hardware store

The way the TMH are routed is REQUIRED to fit the Explorer (95-01) and Ranger (98-11) engine bay, they hug the block, they bolt up to the factory 96-01 down pipes, and they clear the frame rails, heater box and steering shaft.......

yes that is Eddie Monies 104K 1998 302 engine that was refreshed here in my shop and given alot of new parts including the cam/valvetrain and TMH headers :)
