Are aftermarket headers worth it?
The answer is yes, headers will boost performance – IF your vehicle is “prepared” for them.
How much does it cost to install aftermarket headers?
If you have the header and midpipe parts it should cost around 500 to 600 to install. It’s not hard to order the correct parts if you shop by year make and model, or at least double check prices on quotes you get for parts.
How much does it cost to get shorty headers installed?

Is it worth putting headers on exhaust manifolds?
There’s no benefit to putting headers on if the exhaust flow is only going to be choked further down the line. An example of an OEM factory style log type exhaust manifold. Headers will provide the biggest gains to cars and trucks equipped with cast-iron log-type exhaust manifolds.
Do you think headers are worth the performance improvement?
Are Headers Worth The Performance Improvement? The answer is yes, headers will boost performance – IF your vehicle is “prepared” for them. We discuss header types, their benefits, and conditions necessary for best results.
What kind of headers are used in performance cars?
The Magnaflow Ceramic Coated Performance Header is an example of a short tube design. The Rugged Ridge Exhaust Header with black ceramic coating. For starters, there’s Borla’s Stainless Steel Header for new and old American performance cars as well as inline-cylinder Jeeps and imports.
Why are long tube headers more difficult to install?
The aforementioned scavenging effect is most pronounced on long tube headers. However these headers are usually more expensive, the most difficult to install, and take up the most space. Long tube headers require that the exhaust pipes be cut and flanges attached where they join with the header collector.
