1-7/8 Long tube Headers 11-15 Mustang GT 5.0L

The BBK PERFORMANCE 1-7/8" Long Tube Headers (Part No. 18560) are engineered for 2011-2015 Mustang GT 5.0L Coyote engines. These long tube headers replace the factory restrictive manifolds with a pair of large-diameter primary tubes that promote scavenging efficiency and improve exhaust flow. The 1.875-inch primary tubing diameter is sized to match the Coyote's displacement and RPM range, delivering measurable gains in mid-range and peak horsepower while maintaining street-friendly drivability.

Construction uses mandrel-bent steel tubing with a metallic ceramic coating that resists thermal stress and corrosion from repeated heat cycling. The stock collector flange design allows direct bolt-on installation to your OEM or aftermarket exhaust system without adapter fabrication. Gaskets and mounting hardware are included for a complete installation. The 39.7-pound assembly spans 19.1 inches across the engine bay, fitting within the factory engine compartment without modification to core support or inner fenders on stock and lightly modified platforms.

These headers suit owners building for street performance, weekend track duty, or weekend cruise nights where cost-effective power gains matter. The long tube design maximizes collector velocity and separation of exhaust pulses, particularly beneficial on naturally aspirated engines where scavenging efficiency directly affects horsepower output. BBK PERFORMANCE is known for headers designed to real-world engine specifications rather than theoretical maximums, making this set practical for stock and moderately modified Coyote platforms.

Fitment is precise to 2011-2015 Mustang GT models equipped with the 5.0L naturally aspirated Coyote engine. Custom headers for this generation address the factory's serpentine routing and tight engine bay geometry; this BBK solution positions the primaries to clear suspension components and allow hood closure without clearance issues on unmodified vehicles.
