HEADERS: These components are designed to improve the exhaust efficiency of the Ford Mustang GT engine. This system does
not require welding for installation and retains all O.E.M. emissions equipment. These Edelbrock headers are street legal in all
50 states.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void warranty and may result in
poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
Suggested Tools Needed for Installation. This vehicle has metric fasteners:
❑ 3/8" and 1/4” ratchet socket set with extensions and universal 13mm and 15mm swivel sockets
❑ Set of combination wrenches
❑ Jack and jackstands, screwdrivers, pliers, crescent wrench, etc.

SPECIAL NOTICE: This Edelbrock part has received an Executive Order number (E.O.#) from the California Air Resources Board
(C.A.R.B.) making it legal for street use in all 50 states. To assist you with emission equipment certification, we have included a silver
fan shroud decal to help testing personnel verify the this part is a legal replacement on the vehicle for which it is cataloged. The
adhesive-backed decal should be affixed next to the existing emission and engine specifications decal. Do not cover any part of your
original emission decal.
WARNING: The use of "Thermal Wrap" or any aftermarket coating process will void the warranty on your Edelbrock Headers.
Those products will cause excessive heat and moisture buildup resulting in corrosion and failure of the header.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Anytime you are raising an engine inside the vehicle, make sure the hood is open and that there is proper clearance
for wires, fuel lines, and hoses. Always properly secure the engine while it is raised, as the engine could cause
bodily harm if improperly raised and secured.
