Product Overview
The BBK 35180 Shorty Tuned Exhaust Header is a precision‑engineered performance upgrade for 1999‑2003 Ford F150 and Expedition trucks equipped with the 5.4L engine. Crafted from heavy‑gauge 1‑5/8″ CNC mandrel‑bent tubing, the header delivers up to 35% increased exhaust flow compared to stock, translating to an estimated 10‑15 horsepower gain and noticeable torque improvement. The design features large‑bore patented collectors, 3/8″ laser‑cut flanges, and a polished silver ceramic finish that resists corrosion while adding a visual upgrade. All necessary gaskets and hardware are included for a direct, bolt‑on installation.
