BBK 79-93 Ford Mustang 5.0L 1-5/8 Long Tube Headers w/High Flow Catted X-Pipe (Silver Ceramic)

BBK has been making performance exhaust parts for decades, and these 1-5/8 inch long tube headers with a high-flow catted X-pipe for your 1979-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0L are one of their staples. If you're looking to get the most out of your engine, especially if you've already made other modifications like a cold air intake or a performance camshaft, upgrading your exhaust headers is a critical step. These long tube headers are designed to help your 5.0L engine breathe much more freely, which can lead to noticeable improvements in horsepower and torque, particularly in the mid-to-upper RPM range.

The 1-5/8 inch primary tube diameter is a popular choice for modified 5.0L engines, offering a good balance between low-end torque and high-end power. The polished silver ceramic coating not only looks sharp under the car but also helps to keep underhood temperatures down and protects the steel from corrosion. This kit includes a high-flow catted X-pipe, which is essential for scavenging exhaust gases efficiently and helps to reduce emissions compared to a cat-less setup. The X-pipe design promotes better exhaust flow and can even contribute to a more aggressive, refined exhaust note. BBK designs these as a direct bolt-on, meaning they are made to fit your Mustang without requiring significant modifications, though some adjustments might be needed depending on your specific vehicle's condition.

When installing headers, it's always a good idea to have a new set of exhaust gaskets on hand, and to check the condition of your existing exhaust hangers and connections. Because these headers are not CARB approved, they cannot be shipped to California. This is a significant upgrade for any Mustang owner looking to enhance their vehicle's performance and sound.
