If you’re using a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust, or tuner on your 2011–2014 Mustang 3.7L, these 1-7/8” shorty headers from Flowtech are the upgrade you need to take your ride to the next level.

Providing a terrific combination of quality and value, these headers offer consistent tubing diameters, smooth flow, and increased exhaust velocity thanks to mandrel-bent 409 stainless steel (or 304 SS) set in heavy-duty, 16-gauge tubing. In addition, the 1-7/8” diameter primary tubes offer improved throttle response. Premium aluminum gasket headers are included, and three finishes are available: Natural (12140FLT; 409 SS), Polished (12141FLT; 304 SS), and Silver Ceramic (32141FLT; 409 SS).

Features

  • Mandrel-bent 409 stainless steel (12140FLT & 32141FLT) or 304 stainless steel (12141FLT).
  • Consistent tubing diameters for smooth flow and increased exhaust velocity.
  • Heavy-duty 16-gauge tubing for increased strength and durability.
  • Smooth-transition, 1-7/8” diameter primary tubes offer increased exhaust flow, enhanced performance, and improved throttle response.
  • OE-style 2-1/2” collector connects to factory exhaust head pipe without cutting or welding.
  • TIG-welded, machined 3/8” header flange for a leak-free seal.
  • Three finishes: Natural, Polished, and Silver Ceramic Coated.
  • Premium aluminum header gaskets included.

MSD Performance’s Ford big block billet distributor* now comes with a steel gear installed for specific camshaft requirements.

The 85801 features stainless steel terminals and an easily adjustable mechanical advance assembly that has been fine blanked from chrome-moly steel, TIG welded for strength, and QPQ coated. Precision weights glide on nylon bushings for a smooth advancement, and stop bushings and springs allow for a variety of advance curves.

Guided by a long sintered bushing and sealed ball bearing, the advance/reluctor steel shaft has been coated with a friction-reducing agent, a combination that provides spark delivery at any RPM and stable timing signals. MSD’s maintenance-free and race-proven magnetic pick-up handles triggering chores.

Note: Must be used with an MSD ignition control.

*Will not clear some factory-style Shaker hood scoops.

Features

  • CNC-machined billet aluminum housing and DuPont Rynite base.
  • Preinstalled with quality steel gear.
  • Supplied Cap-A-Dapt and rotor (accepts MSD socket-style caps).
  • Mechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systems.
  • Nylon pads ensure smooth advance weight operation.
  • Advance weight pins are staked and TIG welded to the plate.
  • Advance plate/weights are fine blanked from chrome-moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reduction.
  • Polished steel shaft is QPQ coated and guided by a sealed ball bearing.
  • Maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor create stable trigger signals throughout RPM range.
  • Easy-to-adjust mechanical advance with supplied springs and stop bushings.

CAN Dash 7” (CD-7) and CAN Dash 7” Logging (CD-7L) color digital displays from AEM are now available! Their ultra-bright, high-contrast displays are readable in sunlight thanks to an integrated glare diffuser and shade hood. Designed to accept channels from CAN bus connections (analog input not supported), these units feature two CAN bus channels in order to receive and collect data from AEMnet-enabled devices such as the Infinity ECU, Series 2 EMS or EMS-4, and 3rd party devices such as PDMs, CAN sensor modules, and programmable engine management systems.

Seven ultra-bright LEDs span the top of the display housing for RPM and shift-light indication; these are programmable to ascend in specific increments based on RPM range, then flash when it is time to shift. Two large physical buttons allow easy page browsing and memory resetting even with driving gloves on. These button functions are also duplicated on the rear connector, giving users the option to mount remote buttons on the steering wheel. AEM also included two additional programmable LEDs above the toggle buttons on the sides of the housing.

Four units available: 30-5500 (CD-7, non-logging display), 30-5501 (CD-7L, logging display), 30-5502 (CD-7 with VDM), and 30-5503 (CD-7L with VDM).

Note: Third-party systems will require download of third-party DBC CAN bus protocol files for proper operation if they are not included in AEM setup software.

ARIES has long been known as a leader of light-mounting solutions for trucks, SUVs, and Jeep. Thanks to legacy products like 3” and 4” Big Horn bull bars and the widest application coverage of grille guards on the market, if you had a light, ARIES likely had a secure mounting surface.

The game changed when ARIES introduced the innovative Pro Series grille guard with the patented LED-mount crossbar and Jeep JK roof and hood-mount LED brackets. You might say that ARIES saw the light!

ARIES continues its march into LED territory with the addition of a complete line of LED light bars and work lights, including six of the most popular light styles made specifically to complement ARIES’ LED light-compatible products. The company also offers an optional base-mount light bar bracket (PN: 1110312) for mounting ARIES light bars on any bull bar, bumper, or headache rack.

 Features

  • Grade A LED chips by Cree.
  • IP68 and IP69K waterproof and dustproof ratings.
  • Dual oversized heat sinks for low running temperatures.
  • 50,000+ hours average lifespan.
  • Instant on-off requires no warmup time.

  • Three-year finish warranty and limited lifetime warranty against defects.
