Purchase instructions: professional installation is highly recommended, exhaust systems are not always perfect, and while most of the time these exhaust systems work perfectly together, occasionally a slight modification to the exhaust system is required to achieve the perfect fit.
Exhaust Header VS Manifold, which is the better choice?
The structural differences between exhaust headers and manifolds are the material and size. From the material, exhaust headers are made of lighter, thinner steel, while exhaust manifolds are made of thick iron. Exhaust headers are also longer than exhaust manifolds. When in use, exhaust manifolds create back pressure, which lowers performance. Because each cylinder of the engine is given its own tube, however, headers eliminate this problem; thus, allowing the gases to exit without the creation of back pressure. Therefore, exhaust headers are a BETTER choice than an exhaust manifold.
Replacing or upgrading your exhaust header is necessary for both engine performance and sound. Whether on or off the track, exhaust headers provide more horsepower and improved exhaust sound. FLASHARK offers many products to help you create your own custom engine headers. It's really easy and convenient to use: direct bolt-on, no modification needed.

I installed these on my 68 ford fairlane 302. They fit well with only 2 complaints. The collector adapter for the exhaust was shrunk down to 2” when the collectors are advertised as 2.5”. I had to flare them to 2.5” to fit my new exhaust system. And the driver side was about 1/2” too high for my application causing interference with the exhaust pipe. I was able to dent the pipe to fit, so not a huge deal. All in all I’m happy.
Thank you for your comment and I look forward to receiving your feedback pictures!

I purchased these Headers at the advice of a club member’s experience. They were for a late model mustang 289. I was placing on a 1964 Galaxie 500 . They fit great and cleared the Z bar for clutch. The only thing they needed was heat and bend down to clear transmission cross bar support. If they were dropped in the down tubes about 2” they would be great fit.
Hi, thanks for the pictures! Looking forward to your next purchase!

I have to admit, when I ordered these headers I expected them to be a joke and wind up in the scrap pile. Surprised would be an understatement!! Solid thick flanges, complete welds on the inner pipe, and a finish that was smooth and chrome like. Any other headers for my 65 Comet were $750-900, Flashark headers were under $200 shipped. So glad I gave them a shot. Extremely happy customer here.
Hi, your car looks cool! Thanks for the comment!
