Tailored precisely to fit the highly robust 3.9-Litre and 4.0-Litre Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) inline 6-cylinder engine architectures housed within the EA, EB, ED, EF, EL, and AU Falcon series—as well as the dedicated XG and XH commercial workhorse utility runs—this premium upgrade is manufactured entirely from high-grade stainless steel for elite thermal durability and maximum corrosion resistance. By replacing the highly restrictive factory cast iron log manifolds and dropping backpressure, it optimizes exhaust gas scavenging velocity to unlock vital low-to-mid range torque, crisp throttle response, and a clean, deep Aussie inline-6 roar.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-content pb-6\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #e60000; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePRODUCT CONTENTS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Premium Stainless Steel 6-Cylinder Performance SOHC Extractor Header Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-grade stainless steel construction provides ultimate defense against under-car atmospheric moisture, commercial grime, and harsh engine bay thermal stress cycles without rotting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly versatile engineering matrix mapped to seamlessly clear steering boxes, rack and pinion mechanisms, and firewall geometries across multiple vehicle generations (EA through AU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform internal flow geometry, optimizing gas velocity and removing heavy factory casting traps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstantially optimizes low-to-mid range torque delivery—ideal for improving street throttle crispness, cruising manners, and heavy commercial towing or hauling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain a flat, ultra-stable mating footprint to permanently guard against face distortion, thermal warping, and high-pressure exhaust leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered for a fast workshop turnaround, featuring an estimated baseline installation window of just 1.5 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"flex flex-col space-y-2 text-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eAdvance Headers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eA692SS\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003ePremium High-Grade Stainless Steel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eEngine Suitability:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eFord 3.9L \u0026amp; 4.0L SOHC Inline 6-Cylinder Petrol Engines Only (Log, Intech, and AU Intech Configurations)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eComponent Type:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003ePremium Performance Exhaust Extractors \/ Headers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eEstimated Fitting Time:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003e1.5 Hours\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eWelding Required:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eNo (Direct Bolt-On Configuration to Cylinder Head Face)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Crucial Model Generation \u0026amp; Engine Variant Alignment Warnings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003cstrong\u003eStrictly SOHC Overhead Cam Models Only:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product (Part No. \u003cstrong\u003eA692SS\u003c\/strong\u003e) is designed and space-mapped exclusively for the Ford single overhead cam 3.9L\/4.0L inline-6 family.
