Product Description

The JBA 1627S Cat4Ward Shorty Headers are engineered as a direct performance upgrade for 1987-1995 Ford trucks and Broncos equipped with the 5.0L/302 V8 engine. These headers replace restrictive factory exhaust manifolds with mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, increasing exhaust flow for improved horsepower and torque throughout the midrange. JBA's proprietary Firecone® collector design enhances scavenging and throttle response without requiring custom fabrication for installation.

Built with durable 409 stainless steel and thick machined flanges, these headers resist heat-related warping and leaks. Factory style emission connections are retained for a cleaner installation, and included gaskets and hardware make this a complete kit. The Cat4Ward shorty design fits within stock engine bay constraints while delivering measurable performance gains and a more aggressive exhaust note. Ideal for enthusiasts and hot rodders looking for reliable power improvements on classic Ford trucks and Broncos.
