SVE Shorty Headers - Stainless Steel - 5.0
Get rid of the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds and replace them with these 1979-1993 Mustang 5.0 stainless steel shorty headers from Special Vehicle Equipment®! One look at the factory manifold, and you'll see the primary tubes are small and restrict flow. Utilizing larger, 1-5/8" primary tubes, these SVE headers ensure your engine has plenty of room to breathe. SVE's stainless steel shorty headers provide the perfect performance header option without breaking the bank.

Why Buy SVE Shorty Headers?

  • Increased Breathability - The larger 1-5/8" primary tubes allow your 5.0 engine to breathe significantly better than factory headers, ultimately resulting in increased horsepower.
  • Design You Can Trust - Constructed from 100% T-201 Stainless Steel for quality with a focus on performance, these headers will outperform factory manifolds and last longer than stock units.
  • Trusted By Enthusiasts - With over 60 5-star reviews, these SVE stainless steel shorty headers are a favorite among Fox Body enthusiasts.

Do I Need Anything Else For Installation?
While these headers can be installed on most Mustangs without the need for additional parts, there is a part that you may want to consider while you are replacing your exhaust manifolds.

  • Ball & Socket Flange Hardware - With these headers, LMR recommends the use of this hardware kit to connect the ball and socket flange for the midpipe.

SVE Quality
SVE's shorty headers feature premium-quality construction with 201 stainless steel utilized throughout. Each primary tube is meticulously welded to thick, CNC-machined flanges at the top and 2.5" collectors at the bottom. SVE includes a pair of metal wire core gaskets, stainless header bolts, and collector bolts are included to make this a quick and easy installation! Working with both factory or aftermarket mid-pipes gives you a variety of choices to finish out your exhaust system.
