Why Good Headers & Exhaust Systems Matter

At 4,000 rpm, the 1.587L 4A-FE / 4A-FC engine theoretically draws in approximately 3,174 litres of intake air per minute and can expel around 9,520 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

• Apply penetrating lubricant such as WD-40 or similar to manifold studs, nuts and exhaust fasteners before removal
• Remove all traces of the old manifold gasket and inspect the cylinder-head sealing surface
• Fit a new DSF780 exhaust manifold/header gasket
• Trial-fit the headers before fully tightening the mounting hardware
• Check the condition and alignment of the existing exhaust system before completing installation
• Check clearance around the engine, transmission, steering and surrounding components
• Protect the painted header surfaces during trial fitting and installation
• Ensure oxygen sensors and emissions-control equipment are correctly retained where applicable
• Check all exhaust connections for leaks after installation
• Inspect and re-tighten the header mounting hardware after the initial heat cycles

Warranty & Compliance

Wildcat headers are covered by the manufacturer's applicable warranty conditions.

Installation must retain the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and any other emissions-control equipment required for the vehicle. Exhaust and emissions requirements vary between Australian states and territories, and the completed installation must comply with the regulations applicable in your state or territory.
