(60-83) Ford/Mercury L6 144/170/200/250 Exhaust Header with Catless Mid-Pipe

Upgrading or replacing your exhaust header is essential for improving engine performance and sound. headers help increase horsepower and enhance exhaust tone, whether on the track or the street. With a direct bolt-on design, these custom headers require no modifications, offering a simple and effective upgrade. Compatible with a wide range of Ford and Mercury models from 1960 to 1983, including those with Inline 6 engines (144, 170, 200, 250 CID), they are a perfect fit for classic vehicles like the Ford Bronco, Ford Mustang, and many more, providing enhanced power and a more aggressive exhaust sound.

Exhaust Header VS Manifold, which is the better choice? The primary difference between exhaust headers and manifolds is their material and design. Exhaust headers are typically made from lighter, thinner steel, while exhaust manifolds are made of thicker iron. Headers are also longer and more efficient than manifolds. Manifolds tend to create back pressure, which reduces engine performance. In contrast, headers eliminate this issue by giving each cylinder its own exhaust tube, allowing gases to exit more efficiently without creating back pressure. This design leads to improved horsepower and better overall engine performance. For vehicles equipped with Inline 6 engines, such as those with the Ford 200 Inline 6 headers, headers provide a significant performance boost compared to manifolds, enhancing both power and sound
