Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Exhaust Extractors for Ford Cortina TC & TD 200ci, 250ci & 250-2V Inline 6-Cylinder Engines
The Advance Headers Performance Exhaust Extractors (A153) are heavy-duty mild steel tubular manifolds custom-engineered explicitly for the classic mid-sized inline 6-cylinder generations of the Ford Cortina. Tailored precisely to fit the torque-rich 200 cubic-inch (3.3L) and 250 cubic-inch (4.1L) engines—including the legendary high-performance, sought-after 250-2V (Two-Barrel) cylinder head configurations—housed within TC and TD Cortina engine bays, this rugged upgrade replaces the highly restrictive factory cast iron log manifold. By dropping heavy engine backpressure and optimizing exhaust gas scavenging velocity, it unlocks vital low-to-mid range torque, sharpens classic street throttle response, and delivers a clean, deep, and aggressive inline-6 growl.
PRODUCT CONTENTS:
- 1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel 6-Cylinder Performance Ford 200/250/2V Extractor Assembly
Key Features:
- Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle intense under-bonnet thermal expansion cycles and classic iron-block engine bay dynamics safely
- Custom clearance-mapped to clear the exceptionally tight engine bay packaging constraints of the TC-TD platform, routing neatly past factory steering columns, firewalls, and subframes
- Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform internal flow geometry, optimizing gas velocity and removing heavy factory log bottlenecks
- Substantially optimizes low-to-mid range working torque delivery—ideal for improving street driveability, cruising manners, and modified classic vehicle performance profiles
- Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain a flat, ultra-stable mating footprint to permanently guard against face distortion, thermal warping, and high-pressure gas leaks

⚠️ Crucial Variant Alignment & Chassis Fitment Warnings:
1. Strict Chassis Limitations (TC-TD Series Only): This product (Part No. A153) is designed and space-mapped exclusively for the packaging parameters of the TC and TD Cortina engine bays. It will NOT fit TE or TF Cortina configurations cleanly without secondary modifications due to alterations made to the steering linkage angles, crossmember configurations, and later Alloy Head engine positions.
2. Cylinder Head Profiling: Custom-flanged to bolt onto factory integrated log heads (200/250) as well as the removable intake 250-2V heads. Ensure your cylinder head mating face matches original Australian Ford casting patterns prior to purchasing.
Please Note: Due to the compact engine bay nature of shoehorning a large inline 6-cylinder engine into a mid-sized chassis, professional installation by an exhaust specialist or qualified classic automotive mechanic is highly recommended to guarantee proper steering clearance.
