Description:
Unlock more performance from your Ford Fairlane ZL with these Wildcat Tri-Y extractors. Specifically engineered for the 4.1L 250ci OHV EFI 6-cylinder in the ZL Fairlane sedan from 1986 to 1988, the Tri-Y design improves exhaust scavenging across a wider RPM range — delivering stronger mid-range torque and a more responsive throttle over the restrictive factory manifold. A worthwhile performance upgrade for one of Australia's most iconic large sedans, backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
