AFCO’s 2007+ GT500 Heat Exchanger; 2011+ 5.0 Headers

Dynatech’s SuperMAXX header system for the 2011 Mustang 5.0 has been making waves in the Coyote world, known for their direct bolt-on fit and OBD-II compliant hi-flow PowerCAT converters. It features extra thick .375-inch flanges and all stainless construction ensure a long life, while the long 1 7/8-inch primaries with a 3-inch collector aids in making over 20 rwhp on a BOSS 302 we recently tested (see the article coming out soon). The dramatic increase in power along with superior construction make this system a must for the Mustang 5.0 owner looking for the most from their car.

Whenever you add more boost to your car, cooling becomes extremely important. Whether it be on the street or at the track the warmer the car runs the more timing gets pulled. Next up is AFCO’s 2007+ GT500 heat exchanger that boasts 350% more cooling area over the stock exchanger and fits without cutting.  Keeping continuous air across the fins of the heat exchanger help in lowering inlet air temperatures, as this will also prevent you from losing power due to heat soak.

The addition of two 10-inch Spal fans along with a larger core means a higher level of cooling can be achieved. The intercooler pump is mounted to the middle of the exchanger with the according hardware and the fan wiring piggybacks to the factory harness.  This install can literally be done in less than two hours
