Description

Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Exhaust Extractors for FORD 2.0L OHC Pinto Engines

The Advance Headers Performance Exhaust Extractors (A219) are precision-engineered for classic European and Australian Ford platforms powered by the iconic 2.0-Litre Overhead Cam (OHC) "Pinto" 4-cylinder engine. Covering the legendary Escort Mark 1 and Mark 2 (including RS2000 variants) alongside the Cortina TC and TD series, this heavy-duty tubular header upgrade replaces your highly restrictive factory cast-iron manifold to maximize exhaust scavenging velocity, lower engine backpressure, and unlock true classic Ford performance.

PRODUCT CONTENTS:

  • 1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel Performance Exhaust Extractor Header Assembly (Standard Finish)

Key Features:

  • Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways deliver an entirely uniform internal diameter to promote optimized cylinder scavenging and crisp engine response
  • Substantially drops power-robbing backpressure, providing noticeable low-to-mid range torque acceleration—ideal for spirited street driving, classic track days, and restorations
  • Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle severe classic car engine bay thermal expansion cycles safely
  • Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain flush mating boundaries to guard permanently against face distortion and exhaust gas leaks
  • Engineered as a direct bolt-on upgrade to align cleanly with the standard 2.0L block footprint across both small-body and medium-body classic Ford chassis layouts

Specifications:

  • Brand: Advance Headers
  • Part Number: A219
  • Material: Mild Steel (Standard Finish)
  • Engine Suitability: Ford 2.0L OHC Inline-4 Petrol ("Pinto" Engine Configurations Only)
  • Component Type: Performance Exhaust Extractors / Headers
  • Estimated Fitting Time: 1.5 Hours
  • Welding Required: No (Direct Bolt-On to Cylinder Head)

⚠️ Crucial Engine & Chassis Fitment Notes:
1. Engine Engine Compatibility: This product is engineered explicitly for the 2.0-Litre OHC variant of the Pinto family. It will not align properly with smaller capacity layouts (such as the 1.3L or 1.6L Crossflow/Kent blocks) due to variations in cylinder head deck height and port spacing geometries.
2. Escort Mk1 Retrofitment: This header assembly is configured to drop cleanly into standard Escort Mark 2 and RS2000 engine bays, but it is also backward-compatible with older Escort Mark 1 bodies that have been retrofitted or modified to run the larger 2.0L Pinto engine unit.

Please Note: Professional installation by an exhaust specialist or qualified classic automotive mechanic is highly recommended to guarantee proper system mapping and a perfect gas-tight seal.
