New Protype Reds Headers Have Been Dyno Tested

While there have been some well-designed headers for the early ‘Birds, decent power producing headers for the Y powered Mid-Fifties cars have been hard to come by and when actually made, are only made in limited quantities. Here are pictures of the recently made prototype Reds Headers for the mid-Fifties Ford cars that were dyno tested on the 312 dyno mule. These are not to be confused with the earlier two tube Reds Headers that have been out there for several years and did not make any more power than stock cast iron manifolds.

This particular set of headers made excellent power compared to many of the other headers and exhaust systems that have been tested on this engine. The dyno mule with a set of stock cast iron manifolds (square tops) made a best of 279 HP while these new headers were worth an additional 28 HP. These new headers were within 2 HP of the headers I used on the EMC dyno competition entries so they are extremely good when considering the fine tuning that went into the design of the EMC headers. No word yet as to when these headers will actually be in production to the point of the average person can get hold of a set. If enough calls are made to Reds, then there’s a chance that the production of these headers can be pushed to the forefront.

Here’s the link to the article previously published in The Y-Block Magazine showing the HP & TQ numbers for the various exhaust manifolds and headers on the Ford Y.
