Default Aftermarket headers question

Gonna buy a set soon. Long tube style.

My question is, when I purchase an aftermarket set, do I need something like an custom oil dipstick tube ? Or an adapter piece for the stock one of some kind ?

just curious cause I see some website mention it doesn’t have like a relocation for it. Or “doesn’t come with oil dip stick”

I don’t wanna purchase headers and not be able to install them cause I missed something.

also let me know if I would need anything else when installing long tubes. I already have a corsa extreme catback exhaust.

I don't think so.

I've had both style dipsticks with my 1-7/8" KOOKS. Both OEM dipsticks worked fine with my KOOKS, though my personal preference is, or WAS, the '97-'00 dipstick. Which the engine builder somehow "lost" somewhere in his shop ......
