We all know that long tube headers are the ultimate when it comes to exhausting a high performance street engine, but how do all the other offerings stack up? Has exhaust port and manifold technology come so far as to make stock manifolds worth using? SRT8 Mopars make real power, through these manifolds, so is there really a reason to upgrade? And how do shorty headers compare? Watch this latest video from Richard Holdener and you’ll find out!
Video Description:
HOW MUCH POWER ARE HEADERS WORTH ON A GEN 3 HEMI? DO LONG TUBE HEADERS ADD POWER ON A SUPERCHARGED MOTOR? HOW MUCH POWER ARE SHORTY HEADERS WORTH ON A GEN 3 HEMI? DO LONG TUBE HEADERS MAKE MORE POWER THAN SHORTY HEADERS ON A GEN 3 HEMI? HOW RESTRICTIVE ARE THE STOCK RAM LONG-STYLE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS? HOW WELL DO THE SRT8 EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WORK? DO I NEED HEADERS ON A SUPERCHARGED GEN 3 HEMI? DO HEADERS ALWAYS ADD POWER? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I RAN A TRIO OF TESTS COMPARING LONG TUBE HEADERS TO STOCK RAM EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ON A CAMMED, PORTED HEAD 5.7L. I ALSO COMPARED LONG TUBE HEADERS TO SHORTY HEADERS ON A CAMMED 5.7L HEMI. THE FINAL TEST WAS TO COMPARE THE SRT8 MANIFOLDS TO LONG TUBE HEADERS ON A KENNE BELL SUPERCHARGED 6.1L. LOTS OF DATA.
