Ford Focus Performance Headers

The Focus is not the hottest model that Ford has in its lineup, but it’s one of the most practical, affordable, and versatile cars with the blue oval on the grille. But those who like to modify their vehicles can opt for aftermarket performance parts. A huge variety of these products is available on our digital shelves. Performance headers can offer the range of significant benefits coming at a fairly low cost. By installing a performance header in your Ford Focus, you can increase engine output, change exhaust sound, reduce curb weight, and even enhance the aesthetic appearance of your engine bay.

You’ve probably noticed that unlike exhaust manifolds, headers feature a spaghetti-like look. It is so because they are designed to synchronize pressure impulses coming from different cylinders to minimize backpressure losses. Given that the speed of these impulses cannot be altered, the only way to adjust timing is changing the distance, i.e., the length of the tubes, and performance headers are designed with this principle in mind. Apart from featuring more sophisticated design, Ford Focus performance headers utilize better materials. Steel makes headers lighter, and their tubes thinner thus reducing weight and allow for a louder engine noise.
