BBK 86-93 Mustang 5.0 Shorty Tuned Length Exhaust Headers - 1-5/8 Silver Ceramic

If you're working on a 1979, 1982-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0, these BBK shorty headers are a solid choice for improving your exhaust system. They're designed as a direct fit replacement for your factory manifolds, meaning they'll bolt up to your existing mid-pipe without needing major modifications. The main goal here is to get exhaust gases out of the engine more efficiently, which translates to more power and a better-sounding exhaust note.

What sets these apart is the 1-5/8 inch CNC mandrel-bent tubing. This kind of bending ensures the tubing maintains its shape and diameter throughout the bend, which helps keep exhaust flow unrestricted. BBK calls these 'tuned length' headers because the pipes are cut to specific lengths. This design helps create better scavenging waves, which means the exhaust pulses from one cylinder help pull the exhaust out of the next, leading to improved combustion. This can also contribute to better fuel economy compared to stock or even-length headers. The flanges are a beefy 3/8 inch thick and laser-cut for a strong, leak-free seal, and the whole assembly is robotically and hand-welded for durability. The polished silver ceramic coating not only looks sharp but also helps protect the steel from corrosion and heat, adding to their lifespan.

When you get these headers, they come complete with new exhaust header gaskets, header bolts, and all the necessary hardware to get them installed. This makes it a convenient package, so you're not scrambling to find extra parts. Just remember to check the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific torque values or procedures.
