GT40P heads have a different plug angle as compared to E7, GT40 and most (all??) other 5.0 heads. That means that most exhaust manifolds/headers have a plug and/or wire clearance issue with the P's.

One notable exception is the Torque Monster brand. These were designed from the beginning to clear both the GT40P and GT40 plug angles so they would fit all OE Explorer heads.

[side note: The Torque Monsters were designed to tuck in very tightly to the factory iron Explorer heads. There MAY be clearance issues when used with aftermarket heads that have slightly different castings. My AFR165's required that a small amount be milled off to clear a header tube and flange.]
