These factory manifolds feature short, uneven runner lengths with rough internal casting flash, inducing severe turbulence right at the cylinder head exhaust ports. Furthermore, the restrictive merge collector creates high backpressure in the high-RPM range, trapping residual combustion heat in the \u003cstrong\u003eMazda KL-DE\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5L V6. Over time, thermal cycling makes the stock cast iron prone to surface cracking and warped flanges, yielding audible exhaust leaks and compromised air-fuel sensor metering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFabricated from corrosion-resistant \u003cstrong\u003eT-304 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, this performance exhaust header incorporates mandrel-bent, equal-length primaries to streamline gas scavenging across both cylinder banks. Smooth interior walls minimize boundary layer friction, while computer-controlled TIG welding delivers consistent weld penetration without internal bead disruption. Heavy-duty, laser-cut mounting flanges resist thermal warpage under sustained engine loads, ensuring a leak-free seal to the cylinder heads. By transitioning smoothly into a low-turbulence collector, this header significantly drops exhaust backpressure, improving throttle response and unlocking mid-to-high RPM power on the \u003cstrong\u003eKL-DE\u003c\/strong\u003e platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1993-1997 Ford Probe GT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKL-DE (2.5L DOHC V6)\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eGE\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e164 hp \/ 160 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1993 Ford Probe GT 2.5L V6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1994 Ford Probe GT 2.5L V6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1995 Ford Probe GT 2.5L V6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996 Ford Probe GT 2.5L V6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997 Ford Probe GT 2.5L V6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fit the GE Probe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yes, this is a direct fit for the 1993-1997 Ford Probe equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eKL-DE\u003c\/strong\u003e engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to relocate the factory oxygen sensors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No, the assembly features integrated sensor bungs in factory locations to retain proper closed-loop air-fuel feedback without extending wiring harnesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Sport-Compact Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the sport-compact enthusiast, this performance header maximizes the high-revving characteristics of the 2.5L V6, delivering a crisper exhaust note and unhindered power flow across the entire rev band.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50512351363320,"sku":"DS-EZIQNTFQZ","price":116.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/exhaust-header-for-ford-probe-1993-1997-2-5l-1.jpg?v=1789425988","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/exhaust-header-for-ford-probe-1993-1997-2-5l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
