Polished Stainless Shorty Headers for 5.4L F150

If you want to wake up your 1999-2003 F-150 5.4L with better throttle response, more power, and a cleaner exhaust note, the BBK 1-5/8" Polished Stainless Shorty Headers are a great upgrade. The stock exhaust manifolds restrict airflow, limiting your truck's potential. These BBK headers are designed to increase exhaust flow, improving efficiency and adding 10-17 horsepower over stock. With smoother acceleration and a more aggressive exhaust tone, your V8-powered F-150 will feel and sound noticeably stronger. What sets these headers apart is the polished stainless steel finish. Compared to the titanium ceramic-coated version, these headers provide the same horsepower and torque gains, but with a brighter, high-performance look under the hood. The polished stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, giving you long-term durability while maintaining a clean, eye-catching appearance. While the titanium ceramic coating is great for reducing engine bay temperatures, stainless steel offers exceptional strength and a premium finish that stands out.

Premium Construction & Design

Performance is at the core of this design. The 1-5/8" CNC mandrel-bent primary tubes allow for smoother, less restrictive exhaust flow, reducing backpressure and improving overall efficiency. What's more, the 3/8" thick laser-cut flanges provide a strong, leak-free seal, preventing common issues like warping or exhaust leaks over time. These headers are also pressure-tested at the factory to ensure perfect fitment and performance straight out of the box. Better yet, installation is simple and hassle-free, designed to be a direct bolt-on replacement for the restrictive factory manifolds. These headers are compatible with factory and aftermarket mid-pipes, making them a versatile upgrade whether you're keeping your exhaust mostly stock or going for a full performance setup. BBK includes new gaskets and all necessary hardware, so you have everything needed for a smooth installation. With basic hand tools and some mechanical knowledge, most installs can be completed in a few hours.
