Maximum Flow, Full Emissions Compliance: Long Tube Power Without the Compromise

The Kooks 1371H420 1-7/8-inch Header and Catted Connection Kit transforms the 2021 and 2025 Ford F-150 5.0L Coyote V8 by replacing restrictive factory manifolds with long-tube headers and high-flow catted Y-pipes that unlock over 60 horsepower and 50 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels, while preserving emissions compliance for daily driving.

Handcrafted from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel, the equal-length primaries and merged collectors optimize exhaust scavenging across the full RPM range, delivering crisp throttle response and a deep, aggressive exhaust note without drone on the highway.

The 3-inch catted connection pipes integrate seamlessly with the OEM mid-section, supporting up to 850 HP for tuned trucks or heavy towing, and feature precision laser-cut 3/8-inch flanges to eliminate warping under heat cycles. For F-150 owners seeking a bolt-on upgrade that balances power gains, sound refinement, and legal street use, this kit provides the engineered path to maximize the Coyote's potential in work, play, or track scenarios.

Key Features

  • 1-7/8-inch Long-Tube Headers: Equal-length primaries with merged collectors for maximum scavenging and mid-range torque.
  • 3-inch Catted Y-Pipe: High-flow stainless catalytic converters rated for 850+ HP with quick light-off and sustained efficiency.
  • T304 Stainless Steel Build: Aircraft-grade material with full penetration welds for corrosion resistance and lifelong durability.
  • Laser-Cut Flanges: 3/8-inch thick stainless flanges, hand-ground ports to prevent exhaust restriction.
  • Direct OEM Integration: Bolts to factory exhaust without cutting or welding; maintains OBD-II readiness.
  • Power and Sound Gains: Dyno-tested for 60+ HP/50+ lb-ft increases with improved throttle feel and V8 rumble.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Is this kit legal in California?
    A: No, 49-state EPA compliant only CARB EO required for California use.
  • Q: Will this fit my 2024 F-150 Lariat 5.0L?
    A: Yes, direct bolt-on for all non-Tremor 5.0L models from 2021 through 2025.
  • Q: What power gains can I expect?
    A: Dyno results show 60+ HP and 50+ lb-ft to the wheels, with further gains from tuning.
  • Do Kooks headers require a tune after installation?
    Yes. A professional tune is strongly recommended after installing long tube headers. The significant improvement in exhaust flow changes air fuel ratios and requires ECM recalibration to achieve optimal power output and safe operation.
  • Will these headers void my factory powertrain warranty?
    Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void your vehicle warranty simply because you installed an aftermarket part unless they prove the component directly caused the failure. Consult your dealer for specifics on your situation.
