PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING

PerTronix@thanks you for choosing a Patriot Exhaust Product. To realize the potential of Patriot’s engineering and excellent fit, Please Read and Understand these instructions completely prior to starting the installation.
Check that you received all the parts listed on the parts list, if you have any concerns, please contact PerTronix before continuing. Headers will have the part number stamped in the flange.
Work Smart – Work Safe! Most Header and Exhaust Installation are best performed on a lift. If a lift is not available, raise the vehicle and support on quality Jack Stands on level ground. Do not rely on a  jack!
Many factors affect he installation of exhaust headers, including worn or aftermarket motor mounts, previous accident damage, aftermarket cylinder heads that may have relocated port or spark plug  locations, suspension and steering changes, sagging of original unibody structures due to age.
Coating Notes: Coatings can be marred during installation if you are not careful. If you are breaking in  a new motor, the extreme heat can alter the appearance of the coating and this is not a warranty issue. We recommend breaking in new motors with stock manifolds or an old set of headers. |
We use sealing beads on all our headers. The raised bead creates a better seal virtually eliminating leaks if installed properly. It is important to install all header bolts lightly snug and then tighten to factory torque specs starting in the center and working outward.
Before starting, allow the vehicle to cool, disconnect the battery, and spray a penetrating oil on all hardware and fittings that will need to be removed. Once you remove your manifold, clean the sealing surface on the head of any old gasket debris or carbon build up.

DISASSEMBLY

1. Standard trans cars, remove the Clutch equalizer “Z-bar” and lower rod *Note there were several different Z-bars used on the Mustang. See illustration.
2. Remove the spark plug wires and spark plugs.
3. Remove the bolts and remove the stock manifolds from the heads. Clean the heads of any gasket material or any carbon deposits that remain on the head surface

INSTALLATION

1. Slip the header into position, with the gasket in place use the supplied header bolts and washers and bolt the header to the cylinder head. Tighten bolts in an even pattern starting in the center and working outward.
2. You nay have to bend the Z-Bar for clearance or even replace it with a JBA #1650Z
3. Bolt the reducers to the headers and fabricate your exhaust system.
4. Replace the spark plugs and wires.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.

IMPORTANT CHECK LIST

► Be sure that all brake lines, transmission lines, and fuel lines are clear of headers and/or connector pipes.
► All spark plug wires, battery cables, or other electrical components should be clear of headers and/or connector pipes.
► If dipstick tube was removed, make sure it is installed properly and that the dipstick has been replaced.
► Double-check the tightness of all bolts including brackets and accessories.

START THE ENGINE

Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating temperature. Check for any unusual noises or exhaust leaks. If everything is OK, stop the engine and tighten all bolts while the engine is still warm. NOTE: Check the bolts periodically to make sure they have not loosened. Re-tighten after the first 500 miles and then again at 1000 miles.
