Shorty Header Design = Easier Install, Smog Friendly
Unlike long tubes that require half your patience (and sometimes your sanity), these are:
- Direct bolt-on replacement for factory manifolds
- Compatible with stock mid-pipe / exhaust systems
- Typically 50-state legal (CARB approved depending on application)
So yes—you can upgrade performance without making your local emissions guy your enemy.
These BBK Performance shorty unequal Length exhaust Headers are designed as a direct fit for all 1986-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0 applications and will work with all factory and aftermarket H and X pipes.

BBK doesn’t mess around with materials:
- High-quality steel construction
- Chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance
- Designed to handle high heat and long-term use
They’ll keep looking good long after your stock manifolds would’ve given up.
Every exhaust headers is constructed with 1-5/8″ CNC mandrel bent tubing that offers unrestricted exhaust flow for increased horsepower and torque over factory OEM manifolds.
Aggressive Sound Without Going Overboard

All headers are robotically and precision hand welded and then pressure tested to ensure years of reliabilty and performance in the real world. All BBK exhaust header kits include new exhaust header gaskets, header bolts and hardware to complete the installation..
