Stupid question, would it be advisable to get a ECU tune if I were to get short tube headers installed?

[@stillnottellingyoumyname8193]

I'm honestly wondering this too Edit: nevermind

Easy answer. Always. For shorties, an email tune would work fine. Anything longer, I recommend Dyno tuning.

A Shelby GT350 with equal length headers will do the trick. It basically already is a Ferrari engine anyway. Without the deliberate exhaust scavenging jamming, the car will scavenge evenly and scream like a mofo. Especially with it's high RPM. There's some videos of it with equal headers.

[@oxidizedolive]

About a year ago, I had short tubes installed on my 03 Dakota 3.9L. Between that, the cat, magaflow rumbler, and turn-down at the bed, it sounds nasty, but tame at idle and low rpm cruising. Due to the fact that the engine only revs to around 5k, I don't get quite the drop off that some cars get, and it still sounds good if I'm pushing redline. Only complaint is the drone that comes with have an exit underneath the vehicle. I've had a number of people ask me if it was the 5.2L since having it installed, so I guess I can be considered a ricer now... 😅

[@nickbarnes2564]

Another advantage to headers is that most stock engines now have aluminum heads which is a GOOD thing. The bad thing manufacturers dropped the ball on is bolting a cast iron exhaust manifold to the Aluminum heads. Aluminum cools alot faster than the cast iron does. Cast Iron retains heat for a long time. With heat, comes expansion & the different rates at which the two different metals cool is huge, enough that the studs will end up snapping or the bolts can strip right out. Headers even though made of Steel, it is thin and cools alot faster than the cast so the expansion and retraction of the head & headers is as close to equal as you can get and solve that issue.

[@DinosaurJuiceCars]

My westfield has a side exhaust so i dont have to worry about hitting the exhaust on the ground but the oil sump is very low.

[@nickamarit]

Hey Bladed Angel, I was wondering, would it be possible to tune the sound of a piston engine through the use of extremely clever header design to make it sound like a Wankel/rotary? Of course, the more amount of cylinders a car has, then it would sound more "even", which might help make it more possible, but not everyone can afford to drive a V12. What about a clever header design that can make an inline-6 sound like a Wankel/rotary? So I'm thinking that the primaries have to be equal-length and also bequite small and short, so the speed of the gas is moved evenly and very quickly to join with each other. I'm also thinking that it must be a 6-1 instead of 6-3-1 as most inline 6's use. I'm thinking that the system might also use a high-pass-filter resonator, to only allow high pitched sound to come through, which makes it sound even more like a Wankel/rotary.

[@MrNobody989]

So what is the typical price range for long tube headers I’m making my 2005 doge truck a racing truck and have about $800 dollars to spend on headers. Is that enough or do I need more

[@SpecialEDy]

You have it backwards. Short headers are tuned for high RPM, long tubes are tuned for torque at low RPM. Same as an intake. The pipe length is tuned like a musical instrument, a longer pipe reverberates at a lower frequency.

[@frankrizzo2724]

The most important thing to get right is primary tube diameter... In a n/a 90degree V8 primary length is is far more important than than being equal and shorties are a waste of money, even more if equal length.

[@NezukoChan-mm5nm]

"And before you feel bad about running shorties , remember that how you use them also matters " I can relate but it's not related to cars

[@frontwheeldrip4253]

Honest question: I want to own and modify a 1986 Chevy K10. What would be the best header for the vehicle? I am thinking 180° Equal Mid Lengths (for performance. If I was modifying for sound, I'd do 90° unequal True Longs). Thoughts? Ideas?

[@BladedAngel]

180s are very expensive. I probably should've mentioned that in the video. They have very few practical applications. Like Corvettes and Ford GT's. They're mostly sound. 90 degree is always better for cheap performance.

[@brendanposey5479]

An option for some mid 90s early 2000s cars is a chip I have the jett stage 2 on my 4cy 5speed s10 with a header and cold air and it went from painfully slow to slightly less slow (14 sec to 12sec 0-60) ecus are expensive and getting a actual performance gain from a stock ecu with a header for like 200 buck is totally worth if u plan on daily driving just do your research

I can honestly say this is the very first time I have ever heard these 2 things being the first that it will magically make your car like something else when that is what the muffler is for yes headers will change the sound but make it sound more "tin like" and now the 2nd thing what is true long tube headers are you trying to say full length headers cause thats what they are classified as so you can turn out the collector out the side of the car and long tune headers or as you say mid length are for you to continue to run the exhaust all the way out the back
