Advance Headers High-Performance Premium Stainless Steel Exhaust Extractors for Ford Falcon XE & XF 4.1L EFI Models with Catalytic Converter
The Advance Headers Stainless Steel Performance Exhaust Extractors (A492SS) are the definitive high-flow header solution engineered explicitly for the pioneering electronic fuel-injected generations of the Australian Ford Falcon XE and XF series passenger cars and commercial utility platforms. Custom-tailored for the iconic 4.1-Litre (250ci) overhead-valve inline 6-cylinder Crossflow engine optioned with factory Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and underbody catalytic converter systems, this premium manifold is manufactured entirely from high-grade stainless steel for elite thermal durability and corrosion resistance. Replacing the highly restrictive factory log exhaust manifold, this mandrel-bent assembly drastically drops engine backpressure, smoothing exhaust scavenging lines to maximize low-to-mid range torque and deliver a crisp, classic inline-6 exhaust note.
PRODUCT CONTENTS:
- 1 x Premium Stainless Steel 6-Cylinder Performance Crossflow Extractor Header Assembly
Key Features:
- High-grade stainless steel construction provides ultimate defense against under-car atmospheric moisture, road salt rust, oil grime, and harsh engine bay thermal stress cycles
- Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform internal flow geometry, optimizing exhaust gas scavenging velocity and preventing power-robbing pocket turbulence
- Substantially optimizes low-to-mid range torque bands—ideal for improving throttle crispness, restoring low-end acceleration, and maintaining smooth highway cruising profiles under EFI management
- Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain a flat, ultra-stable mating footprint to permanently guard against face distortion, thermal warping, and high-pressure gas leaks
- Engineered for an exceptionally fast workshop turnaround, featuring an estimated baseline installation window of just 1.5 hours

⚠️ Crucial Emissions Hardware & Application Variant Warnings:
1. XF EGR Adaptor Component Requirement: This product (Part No. A492SS) is designed to align with factory emissions compliance pathways on fuel-injected models. When fitting this kit onto an XF series Falcon, you must purchase and use the dedicated E.G.R Adaptor (Part Number: A492AD) during installation to successfully secure the factory Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve loop.
2. Fuel Layout Mapping Restriction: Mapped specifically around the unique intake plenum plumbing, injector rails, and single catalytic converter body clearance coordinates of the EFI XE and XF series runs. Will not align perfectly with standard carburetted models without plumbing adaptations.
Please Note: Professional installation by an exhaust specialist or classic automotive technician is highly recommended to guarantee proper downstream system routing and a perfect leak-free seal.
