Do headers cause problems?

These repetitive head impacts could have the potential to cause subtle neurological deficit. “Soccer headers are repetitive subconcussive head impacts that may be associated with problems with thinking and memory skills and structural changes in the white matter of the brain,” said study author John Jeka, Ph.

What happens if you run long tube headers without a tune?

Installing headers without tune will limit the horsepower gain and introduce risks like CEL and engine running lean. With no tune, performance headers may provide you with just a couple of horsepower more – without any benefit in torque or efficiency.

Do long tube headers increase horsepower?

For long tube headers, the exhaust pipes are much longer and merge farther out. Longer port pipes result in lower exhaust back pressure. This means improved oxygen intake and a boost in horsepower.

Are long tube headers worth it?

Another advantage with long-tube headers is that they not only give solid peak power numbers, but help to raise horsepower and torque in the low and mid-range of the RPM band, giving you more useable power down where you usually need it.

Are headers a good idea?

Headers are installed because they boost the rate of exhaust flow out of your engine compared to OEM stock exhaust manifolds, which are typically designed to take up as little space as possible. There’s no benefit to putting headers on if the exhaust flow is only going to be choked further down the line.

Are headers hard to install?

The fact is, today it’s usually cheaper to run headers than the stock manifolds! But nobody wants to hack their Mopar’s fenderwells, or worry about bottoming out and mangling the headers, or constantly fix leaks. Plus, headers are notoriously difficult to install, especially on Mopars.

How much is a tune for long tube headers?

Adding Heads, CAM, Porting, Super Chargers, Rockers, Springs, Turbo’s would be examples of things you would need a custom tune for. A custom Tune can run between $400 – $1000 and takes a skilled engine tuner to perform well and may require several adjustments to get it just right.

Will long tube headers throw a code?

Hi there, There is NOT ONE long tube header/hi flow cat design that does NOT throw codes or skew fuel trim measurements to the point of creating problems. This is due to o2 sensor location changes, along with converters that are NOT as efficient as factory cats.

Why are long tube headers illegal?

Long tube headers on the other hand are a bit of a different story. Not only will they make your vehicle louder, but it is also considered tampering with your vehicles emissions, which according to the EPA is illegal under federal law.

What’s better short or long tube headers?

Shorty headers aren’t as loud as long tube headers, although they’ll definitely have better sound than your stock manifold. You can choose unequal length headers for better sound, but equal length is the way to go for consistent gains in performance.

Do headers void warranty?

Short Answer: YES. Long Answer: Any modification has the potential to void your warranty, but it is on the dealer to show/prove that the modification you did caused the failure to your car (ie powertrain, exhaust, electrical).
