{"product_id":"y-block-v8-long-tube-header-with-metallic-ceramic-coating","title":"Y-Block V8 Long Tube Header with Metallic Ceramic Coating","description":"The Patriot Exhaust H8422-1 is a performance-grade, long-tube header designed specifically for 1953-1964 Ford F-100, F-250, and F-350 trucks with a Y-block V8 engine (272 or 292 cubic inches). These long-tube headers are intended to enhance mid-range torque and high-RPM horsepower. The headers are constructed from 18-gauge steel and feature a metallic ceramic coating, which acts as a thermal barrier to lower under-hood temperatures and protect the metal from thermal fatigue. The coating is polished using a vibratory process to produce a high-luster aluminum appearance that is harder and more corrosion-resistant than unpolished surfaces.\n\nEach unit includes a 3-bolt flange collector for a secure connection, along with necessary gaskets and mounting hardware. Please note that header fitment is based on original engine and cylinder head port centerlines; therefore, these headers are not compatible with raised port cylinder heads, which will cause installation issues. For optimal results, ensure the vehicle is fitted with the stock engine configuration as specified by the manufacturer. Installation should be approached with attention to the original component layout to avoid interference.","brand":"Patriot Exhaust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663231971640,"sku":"PATH8422","price":757.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687522837.jpg?v=1784325165","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/y-block-v8-long-tube-header-with-metallic-ceramic-coating","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
