Fitment Notes

G6 Engine: WILD046 is designed for the 2.6L G6 SOHC 12-valve EFI petrol engine. Australian application catalogues confirm this engine in the Ford Raider UV during the 1991-1996 period.

4WD Application: The Ford Raider UV was a 4WD wagon. WILD046 is listed specifically for this G6-powered Raider application.

Transmission: Australian vehicle application data confirms the 2.6L G6 Raider was produced with manual and automatic transmissions. The supplied Wildcat information does not specify a transmission restriction for WILD046.

Direct Fit: WILD046 is listed as a direct-fit application. Because these vehicles are now approximately 30 years old, check for previous exhaust modifications or engine changes before installation.

What's Included

• 1 x Wildcat WILD046 header/extractor assembly

Gaskets, bolts and other installation hardware should not be assumed to be included unless specifically confirmed before ordering.

Recommended With

DSF118 – replacement exhaust manifold/header gasket.

Before installation, inspect the existing exhaust system, manifold studs, engine mounts and associated mounting hardware.

Why Good Headers & Exhaust Systems Matter

At 4,000 rpm, the 2.6L G6 four-cylinder engine theoretically draws approximately 5,200 litres of intake air per minute at 100% volumetric efficiency and expels around 15,600 litres of hot exhaust gas per minute at approximately 600°C.

A well-designed header and exhaust system helps manage this high gas flow efficiently, reducing restriction and improving exhaust scavenging, torque, throttle response and engine performance.

Installation Tips

Before installation, confirm that the vehicle is a Ford Raider UV 4WD fitted with the 2.6L G6 SOHC 12-valve petrol engine.

Lubricate threaded fasteners with WD-40 or a similar penetrating lubricant before removal to assist with easier removal and installation.

Professional installation is recommended. After installation and several heat cycles, inspect the exhaust system for leaks and recheck accessible fasteners where appropriate.

Warranty & Compliance

Any catalytic converter, oxygen sensor and other emissions-control equipment required for the particular vehicle must remain correctly installed and operational.

Installation must comply with applicable Australian state or territory requirements relating to emissions, exhaust noise and vehicle modifications.
