BBK 1442 replaces the restrictive factory manifolds on the 3.7-liter V6 Mustang with tuned shorty headers that retain the stock-style mid-pipe interface. Mandrel-bent 1-5/8-inch steel primaries, thick laser-cut flanges, and a titanium ceramic finish are designed for a direct-fit performance upgrade.

BBK engineers application-specific intake and exhaust components for modern American performance vehicles. Its systems use vehicle-matched tubing, flanges, brackets, and interfaces so the complete part number matters as much as the product family.
It is the BBK headers & manifolds package for the exact applications and configuration listed on this page.
Does it fit every 2011-2017 Mustang?No. It is for the 3.7-liter V6 applications listed in the fitment table.
Does it connect to the factory mid-pipe?Yes. The shorty collector uses the stock-style connection when the vehicle remains in the supported configuration.
Are both headers included?Yes. The kit is sold as a pair with left and right headers.
Are gaskets and bolts included?Yes. Header gaskets and the required installation hardware are supplied.
Is tuning required?BBK lists this as a direct-fit shorty header. Any modified vehicle should be evaluated by a qualified installer before calibration decisions are made.
Is it legal in California?EO D-245-16 covers the verified 2011-2014 applications. Later model years must be checked against current emissions rules before purchase or installation.
What finish is used?The steel tubes carry a titanium ceramic coating intended to improve heat control and durability.
