    144 is a six? or a 4? I dont think theres any premade ones, but if you go to www.losboulevardosmessageboard.com and do a search a tech should pop up. I can tell you it was user fu-manchu that did it. Hope it can be of some help.

    144 was the original Falcon six. You might check at www dot fordsix dot com to see if anyone there has ideas.

    I like it, seems well built. Not sure if it added any performance advantage but that wasn't what I was after.

    Did it just bolt right in or did you have to do some modifications to get it to fit in?

    Had to trim the positive terminal on the starter down to give one of the pipes some breathing room, it cleared but was to close for me. The stud seemed excessively long anyway so not really a header issue.

    Think my local exhaust shop only charged around two hundred for duals out to the rear bumper.

    200 is a pretty good deal. The closest shop in my area that does this kinda work is an hour drive away and wanted 400 euros. Neither to say i said screw it and i'll do it my self.
    I have 4-2-1 heder too, im just gonna remove the last bit and use it as a proper splitty.
