I was wondering if anyone has a strong opinion about whether a Tiger is really better off with headers versus the original cast iron exhaust manifolds. I think the obvious benefit of headers is the g
I just installed a set of Rick's (SS) headers. They went in with no modification, although the collectors don't quite point to the frame holes. The fit is tight, but not so tight that you can't work
Hmm! You have both a Porsche 911 and a Tiger. Me too. It's my son's ambition to own every sports car I ever had, and at the same time. He is well on his way. Have sound on: *Have sound on: * < http:/
The LH exhaust manifold is a Falcon part C3DZ-9431-A and maybe readily available. The RH exhaust manifold is a Tiger only part, not easily found. Ken Miles took 2 log type Ford exhaust manifolds, re
Besides performance, if you coat your headers with a ceramic coating, the underhood temp is reduced, as an added benefit. Larry _______________________________________________ Tigers@autox.team.net D

Some thoughts on exhaust headers from an old Motorhead: Our 260/289 engines were designed for mundane passenger car usage, not with high-performance in mind, so an untuned cast iron manifold was all
A bit late to reading this but I found an interesting article over on the Mopar side of my life. They took a mildly prepared 360 and tried every manifold/header possible that would fit the heads. The
It makes sense and out of 3 sets I just sold my best set- after reading your out loud thinking, perhaps I should have sold the second best as I have at least two more Tigers to complete and I could
I can't say whether Rick's headers will improve the 289's performance by themselves, and I'll never know, mainly because the stock Ford heads are sitting in a box next to the stock Ford exhaust manif

Variable tuned exhaust has been used for years on high-performance motorcycles. Yamaha pioneered it with their EXUP system, now Honda and Kawasaki use it and BMW's new S1000 sportbike uses it (191 H
Variable inlets were used on the 90's M3 BMW's and in F1 until it got banned they had variable inlets and exhausts.. lots of modern cars have butterfly valves in the mufflers these days to let them
Who makes and sells the best headers for the MK 1A tigers? I see many 'coated' but what are they coated with? What color should they be? Thanks Joel _______________________________________________ Ti
Rick at SS has a set (uncoated) for less than $300 that fit my Mark 2 with no modification. Performance Coatings in Georgia (They're in Hemmings and on the web) will coat them for $205 plus shipping.

Oops, tiz not me, lol. Dr. Moonstone is who you are searching for. Sean's realitive has a coating company in Fresno, Calif who does headers etc. Cap's Bright Hot Coatings. He did the headers fo the S
SORRY to the LIST and both Dr. Mayf and Dr. Moonstone- I get the days mixed up, why not two Dr's. who happen to have names that start w/ the same letter (M). At any rate, I would still recommend chec
