What Do SBF Exhaust Headers Do?
Boost Horsepower, Torque, and Improve Fuel Efficiency with FLASHARK SBF Headers!
Replacing your vehicle’s stock exhaust manifold with FLASHARK SBF headers, designed specifically for small block Ford engines, is a great way to increase horsepower and torque while giving your car that iconic American muscle car sound. These headers improve exhaust flow, which can add up to 10–15 horsepower to your 260, 289, or 302 V8 Ford engine.
Additionally, installing a complete exhaust system can improve fuel efficiency by approximately 0.5 mpg. While that might seem small, here’s the savings: At $3 per gallon of gas, driving 15,000 miles per year could save you about $85 annually. Over five years, that’s nearly enough to cover the cost of a full cat-back exhaust system!
Exhaust Header vs. Manifold: Why SBF Headers Are the Better Choice
SBF exhaust headers are made from lightweight stainless steel, improving exhaust flow and reducing back pressure compared to traditional iron manifolds. The longer design of SBF headers allows each cylinder to have its own tube, helping gases exit freely and boosting horsepower and torque. In contrast, manifolds create back pressure, reducing performance.
For your Ford 260, 289, or 302 V8, SBF headers are the clear choice for maximizing engine output and efficiency.
