ZETEC EXHAUST IS CONED OFF

With Zetec engine bays in Fiesta, Focus and even Mondeo now becoming ever more crowded, developing an exhaust manifold that delivers that extra edge is getting to be a challenge. Salisbury-based Autocraft SVE's approach is a compact closely-looped tube design that uses a cone sited inside the collector to streamline internal gas-flow.

The cone  - actually more like a pyramid in shape - works to reduce the power-sapping backwash that can occur when several equal-length exhaust tracts merge into a single plenum chamber. 
	
Made from stainless steel, each Autocraft SVE header is also given a ceramic coating to preserve its good looks for longer. The coating also has a more practical benefit in helping the header retain heat and thereby keep gas speeds high - plus working to reduce underhood temperatures into the bargain.

The headers are claimed to deliver a 8 -10 BHP power hike on their own, and are suitable for Ford 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 litre DOHC Zetec engines. Each is priced at £295 excluding VAT, but including flange to cylinder head gasket.

Set up in August 2003, Autocraft SVE Ltd., is a retailer of performance vehicle parts, and UK agent for the Sean Hyland Motorsport range of Ford single and DOHC V6,V8 and Zetec racing engines. The company's workshops are equipped with a 600 BHP rolling road facility, and as well as carrying out race and rally preparation, engine, brake and chassis conversions, Autocraft SVE will undertake one-off automotive projects to customer order.
