Replacement Lead Pipes for Your Stainless Works Header System

This lead pipe kit is the factory-connection replacement lead for Stainless Works and Stainless Power long tube header systems on the 2015-2026 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L.

The kit is built from stainless steel to match the durability of the header system it completes.

FAQ

What is the difference between the factory connect and performance connect lead pipe kits?

The factory connect kit mates to the stock exhaust connection point, while the performance connect kit is sized to fit a Stainless Works catback system. Choose based on which exhaust system you are running downstream of the headers.

Do I need this kit if I already bought a complete Stainless Works header system?

Only if your existing lead pipes are damaged or you are changing your downstream exhaust connection type. Complete header kits typically already include matching lead pipes.

Will this kit work with headers from another brand?

This kit is designed specifically as a replacement lead for Stainless Works and Stainless Power header systems and is not guaranteed to fit other header brands.

Does this kit include a catalytic converter?

No. This is a lead pipe kit only. The catalytic converters are part of the header assembly itself on most Stainless Works Mustang header kits.

Is welding required for installation?

No. The kit is designed to bolt and clamp into place using the factory-style connection points, without welding.

Can this be used on a Mustang with an aftermarket catback exhaust?

The factory connect design is sized for the factory connection point. If your Mustang has an aftermarket catback with a different connection size, the performance or aftermarket connect version may fit better.

What material is this lead pipe kit made from?

It is made from stainless steel, matching the material used throughout the Stainless Works header and exhaust product line.

Does installing this affect the sound of my exhaust?

The lead pipe itself has minimal impact on sound compared to the headers and catback, since it is primarily a connection section rather than a resonating component.

Installation Instructions

  1. Raise and safely support the vehicle to access the exhaust system.
  2. Remove the existing lead pipe or connection section between the headers and the downstream exhaust.
  3. Position the new factory connect lead pipe kit and secure it to the header collectors.
  4. Connect the opposite end to the factory exhaust connection point using the appropriate clamps or hardware.
  5. Inspect all connections for proper alignment and secure clamping before lowering the vehicle.
  6. Start the engine and check for exhaust leaks at each new connection point.
