Pacemaker Headers For Ford

Pacemaker builds its extractor headers in Australia, engineered specifically for local Ford applications including the Falcon and Ranger. Compared to a stock cast manifold, equal-length header primaries improve exhaust scavenging, which helps the engine breathe more freely across the rev range. Headers alone give a modest gain, but paired with a matching performance exhaust the improvement compounds — check our dedicated Ford Falcon range if that's the platform you're working with.

Naturally aspirated Fords generally don't need a retune after fitting headers, but turbocharged or heavily modified engines may benefit from a professional tune to extract the full gain safely. It's good practice to retorque header bolts after the first heat cycle, since gaskets settle once the engine reaches normal operating temperature — stock up on exhaust gaskets and manifold studs before you start the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Pacemaker headers made from?

Pacemaker manufactures its extractor headers in Australia, typically from mild steel or stainless tubing, engineered specifically for local Ford applications and engine bays.

Do I need a tune after fitting Pacemaker headers?

Naturally aspirated engines often don't require a retune, but turbocharged or heavily modified Fords may benefit from a professional tune to get the most from the headers safely.

Will Pacemaker headers fit my Ford Falcon or Ranger?

Pacemaker builds model and engine-specific headers, so check your exact model, series and engine on the product listing before ordering to confirm compatibility.

What power gain can I expect from headers?

Gains vary by engine and supporting modifications, but freer-flowing headers typically improve exhaust scavenging and can add measurable power, especially when paired with a matching cat-back exhaust.
