American Racing Headers American Racing Headers 1-7/8" Long Tube Headers
BBK Performance BBK Shorty Headers - Polished Ceramic
Headers
exhaust.path.headersLong-tube headers free the most power; shorty headers are easier to install and keep stock cats.
Tradeoff: Long tubes void cat warranties in many states and almost always require a tune and an aftermarket mid-pipe.

Shorty Headers
exhaust.path.shorty-headersModest power gain (+10-20 HP) without disturbing stock cats or mid-pipe.
Tradeoff: Less aggressive sound and less power than long tubes. Best for emissions-conscious builds.

Long Tube Headers
exhaust.path.long-tube-headersBest gain (+25-40 HP). The standard for cam'd or forced-induction builds.
Tradeoff: Almost always uncovers the cats; need a high-flow mid-pipe and a tune. Drone is real on highway cruise.

Mid-Pipe
exhaust.path.mid-pipeX-pipes, H-pipes, or resonator-deletes change exhaust character and shave a few horsepower of restriction.
Tradeoff: Off-road / catless mid-pipes will fail emissions inspections in many states. Big difference in cabin drone.

Cat-Back System
exhaust.path.cat-backThe biggest sound change you can make. Modest power gain (5-15 HP), huge personality change.
Tradeoff: Some aggressive systems drone on the highway. Cabin tone is highly subjective — read reviews and listen to YouTube clips.

Mufflers
