Headers and test pipe

jtmurr02 · 03-31-2015, 01:29 PM

Does anyone recommend one header over another. I currently have a fantastic intentions cat back exhaust and I want to add headers but I'm not sure which route for headers to go. Should I get long tube headers or should I get a header with the downpipe set up. Which way will I get the most gain with the correct tuning. Thanks for any and all the advice

majority will tell you to go with the F.I. long tube headers... i personally don't think it's worth spending that much money for a few hp. i'd suggest on getting test pipes if you don't have emissions or have a way around them. but if you have the funds, go for both.

Won't the long tube headers be the same length as a header plus a down tube basically just losing one of the connections?

LTH = shorty header plus TP or HFC in terms of what it replaces

LTH are meant to be the most optimal for performance as it is a single pipe and F.I. spent a lot of time with their design to find the optimal power under the curve, not just peak HP.

Here are your popular options.

1. PPE or Fast Intentions long tube
2. Momentum / Z1 short tube.

If you want something to compare to, we have PPE's LTH's in stock.
