Video Description:Check out this episode of Andy's Auto Sport TV where we explain all the basics about headers. In the video, we explain why headers open up horsepower gains and explain the difference between different types of headers. We also show how to install headers and then show the resulting horsepower gains with our dyno run results!
Fits On:
95-97 Ranger 4.0L V6 OHV
Description:
JBA shorty headers are one of the best performance upgrades available for any application. Hot Rod magazine rated headers as one of the top 10 power parts installed on a vehicle. JBA shorty headers are significantly less restrictive than the stock manifolds on a vehicle and dramatically increase the power and efficiency of an engine. JBA's original shorty design is an innovation of the old long tube header. The new shorty designs yield high performance gains that hot rodders and enthusiasts look for. With durable stainless steel construction that can survive the abuse of racing, towing, and daily driving, these headers can take a beating. With heavy duty features and patented technology, JBA shorty headers have the capacity to produce more power than any other shorty headers on the market. Each system includes high quality hardware and thorough instructions for a professional no-leak installation.
The first step in creating an efficient and powerful exhaust system is the addition of JBA Headers. Premium quality, heavy-duty construction, and massive power gains are key elements to the JBA design philosophy. JBA offers a variety of Cat4ward® shorty headers and "off-road" long tubes to suit most popular applications.
JBA Header Features
-Mandrel-bent stainless steel primary tubes
-Patented JBA Firecone® collector
-Factory style emission connections
-Extra thick collector domes
-3/8’ thick CNC laser-cut flanges
-Oversized exhaust ports
JBA Header Benefits
-Best flow, durability, improved throttle response
-Race proven technology for maximum hp/tq gains
-Easier installation
-Will not distort like lesser quality headers, no leaks
-Resists warping, prevents leaks, & easier install
-Increased flow, accommodates cyl. head porting
Ford has never sold a high output performance engine in the Ranger yet owners routinely modify their trucks beyond the power capability of the factory V6. Why not? They are fun to drive and they look good. But on the street or off-road, the V6 has a tough time keeping up with the big guys. JBA satisfies your need for more horsepower and torque with high performance Cat4ward® headers. With perfectly sized tubing to build maximum power without losing valuable torque, a formed high flow collector design and heavy-duty materials for the ultimate in durability - JBA Headers are the perfect upgrade for your V6 Ranger. Standard finish on these is stainless steel. They are also available with silver or titanium finish ceramic coating for the ultimate in high heat thermal protection and lasting good looks under the hood. Each kit includes high quality hardware, gaskets and thorough instructions for the do-it-yourself installation.
Header Features:
-3/8 " thick laser-cut single piece flanges
-1-5/8" Mandrel-bent stainless steel tubes
-Patented JBA Firecone® merge collector
-JBA sealing dome connection with exhaust
-Premium quality hardware and gaskets
-Direct bolt-on installation
-Will not void factory warranty
-Optional ceramic coating (thermal barrier)
Header Benefits:
-Increase hp & torque throughout RPM range
-Improved throttle response
-Reduced back pressure
-Reduced under hood temperature
-Increased passing power
-Increased low-end torque
-Makes engine more sensitive to other modifications (intake, chip, supercharger, etc.)
-Improved engine compartment appearance

Q: What are the different tubing options for headers and what is the difference between them?
A: There are two major designs for headers: the 4-2-1 design and the 4-1 design. In many cases 4-1 headers are designed for racing applications where the vehicle is being driven at or near redline. The 4-1 design maximizes top end power, whereas the 4-2-1 evenly distributes it throughout the power band. Either way, you're going to be getting more horsepower from a header.
Q: How do you install a header?
A: A header is a direct bolt-on. Simply remove the factory OEM exhaust manifold and the aftermarket header is put in its place. The header is to be attached the head of your vehicle. Remove all the bolts that hold the flanges in place and detach the factory manifold. The down pipe or exhaust pipe should be removed as well and then reattached once the header flanges are bolted back onto the head.
Q: How much does the material used to make the header matter?
A: There are two main materials that headers are manufactured out of: ceramic and stainless steel. Ceramic headers are less expensive, but are prone to cracking if they get to be extremely hot. Stainless steel headers are more expensive but are more durable and generally more stylish. Stainless steel headers can take any kind of heat you throw at it and not prone to cracking.
Q: What does a header do? Why buy a header?
A: An exhaust header is a performance product that replaces your factory exhaust manifold and improves an engine's performance by allowing air to flow more freely. The easier an engine breathes the more power it produces. Headers generally use piping with a wider diameter than factory tubing, which allows more air to pass through the exhaust system than factory. A header is one of the easiest bolt-on modifications you can make to increase horsepower, making an effective use of money if your goal is to quickly gain horsepower.
Q: For which vehicles is it necessary to buy a pair of headers? On your website are headers automatically sold in pairs for these vehicles?
A: When purchasing exhaust headers for a V-6 or V-8 engine, the header package is complete with two headers. If your vehicle is a 4-cylinder, there only a single header that is used.
