Product Description

The BBK 3518 Tuned Length Shorty Exhaust Headers are engineered for 1999-2003 Ford F-150 trucks equipped with the 5.4L Triton V8 engine. By replacing restrictive factory manifolds, these headers deliver a significant increase in exhaust flow, resulting in 10-17 horsepower gains and improved torque.

Constructed from heavy-gauge CNC mandrel-bent steel tubing with 3/8" laser-cut flanges, the BBK 3518 headers ensure durability and leak-free performance. Their patented large bore collectors enhance exhaust scavenging, while the titanium ceramic coating provides heat resistance and long-term corrosion protection.
