Long Tube Headers For Ford Mustang GT (1996-2004) with 4.6L 2-valve Engine

Turn your restrictive 2-Valve Modular V8 into the fire-breathing muscle car it was meant to be.

Performance Long Tube Headers for Ford Mustang GT (SN95 4.6L 2V)

The 4.6L Modular engine is a tank, but in stock form, it tries to exhale through a straw. Ford equipped the 1996-2004 GTs with cast iron "log" manifolds that strangle high-RPM airflow and mute the exhaust note. These long tube headers solve the biggest restriction in your exhaust system by scavenging gases more efficiently.

Whether you drive a '96 SN95 or a '04 New Edge, the 2-Valve engine responds massively to exhaust upgrades. By equalizing exhaust pulse pressure, these headers don't just add peak horsepower; they widen the torque curve where you feel it most. Plus, the polished stainless steel finish looks incredible popping out of the engine bay compared to rusted stock iron.

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Unleash the Sound: Transforms the polite stock burble into a raw, aggressive American V8 roar that screams at redline.
• Eliminate Backpressure: Mandrel-bent tubing replaces the restrictive factory manifolds, allowing the engine to breathe freely at high RPMs.
• Show-Ready Finish: The polished stainless steel construction resists corrosion and adds a premium look to your engine bay.
• Leak-Proof Seal: Features thick, CNC-machined flanges that are surface-ground to prevent the dreaded exhaust tick common on warped stock manifolds.

Installation & Fitment Notes

Installing long tube headers on a Modular Ford is a tight fit and requires patience. You will likely need to unbolt the steering shaft and possibly lift the engine slightly for clearance. Because these are "Long Tubes," they will not bolt up to the factory mid-pipe; a shorty mid-pipe is usually required.

Note: Due to the complexity of working around the K-member and steering components, professional installation is highly recommended.

Stop choking your 4.6L and let it sing with the flow and power it deserves.
