Building a custom turbo setup around a Ford 5.0L Coyote? Speed Engineering's 1-5/8" forward facing down Coyote turbo headers give you a solid, well-built foundation for your turbo system. Mandrel bent, TIG-welded, and CNC-machined from 304 natural stainless steel with a short 2.5" collector and merge spikes — sized and oriented specifically for turbo applications on the 5.0L Coyote platform across 2011–2023 Mustang GT and 2011–2025 F-150 applications.
⚠️ Important Notes:
- Header bolts are NOT included — verify thread pitch and source separately before installation
- Coyote swap applications — these headers are NOT compatible with original factory Ford engines other than the 5.0L Coyote
- Header Bolt Thread Pitch:
- Early Gen 1 (2011) and some Gen 3 (2018+): M10x1.25
- Late Gen 1 (2011) and Gen 2 (2015–2017): M10x1.5
- Verify your thread pitch before ordering bolts

FAQ
Are header bolts included?
No. Header bolts are not included with these headers. Verify your thread pitch before sourcing bolts — early Gen 1 (2011) and some Gen 3 (2018+) Coyote engines use M10x1.25 bolts, while late Gen 1 (2011) and Gen 2 (2015–2017) engines use M10x1.5 bolts.
What direction do the collectors face?
The collectors face forward and downward, making these headers suited for custom turbo builds where the turbocharger placement requires a downward-facing orientation. This differs from the forward facing upward LT turbo headers.
What vehicles are these headers compatible with?
These are universal headers compatible with 5.0L Coyote V8 engines in 2011–2023 Ford Mustang GT and 2011–2025 Ford F-150 applications.
What collector size do these headers use?
These headers feature a 2.5" short collector design with merge spikes for a compact, turbo-friendly profile.
What material are these headers made from?
304 natural stainless steel with full TIG-welded construction, CNC-machined flanges, and merge spikes.
Are gaskets included?
Yes. Standard graphite manifold gaskets are included. Header bolts are not included.
Are these headers street legal?
No. These are race-only headers intended for closed-course competition use only. Installation on a street-driven vehicle may violate the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7522(a)(3)).
⚠️ Race Use Only: This product is manufactured and sold for installation on vehicles used solely for competition.
