The Redback RBH047 is a header set listed to fit the 2WD Ford F100 and F250 with the 302 or 351ci V8 motor. It replaces the factory manifolds with tubular headers — the front of an exhaust build on these classic Ford trucks.

What is a header and where does it fit?

A header, or extractor, is the tubular manifold that bolts to the cylinder head and gathers exhaust from each port into separate runners before they merge. It replaces the cast factory manifolds and sits at the very front of the exhaust, ahead of everything downstream. The aim is smoother, more even gas flow off the head than a cast manifold gives. On an old-school V8 like the 302 or 351ci in these F100 and F250 trucks, headers are the classic first step of an exhaust upgrade, with the rest of the system feeding off them. The RBH047 is supplied to suit the 2WD layout rather than as raw tube.

Will it suit my Ford F100 or F250?

The RBH047 is listed to fit the 2WD Ford F100 and F250 running the 302 or 351ci V8. Header fitment is tied closely to the engine and chassis layout — the 2WD specification matters here — so treat the listing as a guide rather than a guarantee. Send us your exact truck and engine and we'll confirm the RBH047 suits it before ordering.

Is it road legal?

Whether headers are acceptable on a road-registered truck depends on how they pair with any emissions hardware fitted and your state's requirements. We won't make an approval claim here — bring the truck in and we'll talk through how the RBH047 works with the rest of your system.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits headers like this on the hoist. Swapping manifolds on a V8 truck means clearance, gasket and fastener work against the heads, so it's done carefully. At $1265 RRP the set is quoted and ordered against your specific F100 or F250.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.

Common questions

Which engines does the RBH047 suit?
It's listed for the 302 and 351ci V8 in the 2WD Ford F100 and F250. Confirm your exact engine and truck with the workshop, as header fitment is layout-specific.
Is this the whole exhaust?
No. It's the header set — the front section that replaces the factory manifolds. The rest of the system runs downstream of it.
