Exhaust Manifold/Headers - 1987 Mustang

For 1987 Ford Mustang owners with the 5L V8 engine, sourcing an exhaust manifold or headers can be crucial for performance and emissions. The OEM part number E7ZE9431A is a reliable choice for replacing your factory manifold. When exploring junkyards, look for compatible parts from 1986-1993 Mustangs with the same engine configuration. Inspect for cracks, rust, or warping, common failures in older models. Installation typically requires disconnecting the exhaust system and possibly modifying or replacing gaskets. Always check that the part fits correctly with your existing exhaust setup, particularly the flange connections. Keep an eye out for casting number E7ZE9431B, as it may indicate a variant that also fits your application. Remember to verify the condition and compatibility of any salvaged parts before purchasing.
