Choosing the Right Long Tube Headers

This question gets asked every single day, what is the BEST long tube header for these cars,

Well first let's start off here:

Long tube headers can offer several benefits for a Dodge Charger, Challenger, 300 or any vehicle with a Hemi.

1. Increased horsepower and torque: Long tube headers improve exhaust gas flow from the engine cylinders, reducing backpressure and increasing engine efficiency. This results in a boost in horsepower and torque, which can lead to better acceleration and overall performance.

2. Improved engine sound: Long tube headers can enhance the exhaust note of the engine, producing a deeper, more aggressive sound. Paired with the right exhaust its music to your ears, maybe not your neighbors though!

3. Enhanced throttle response: With reduced backpressure, the engine can breathe more freely, leading to improved throttle response. This means the engine reacts more quickly to driver inputs, resulting in a more responsive and lively driving experience.

Additionally, to fully take advantage of long tube headers, a proper tune or calibration of the engine's computer ("PCM OR ECU") will be necessary to optimize the performance gains and ensure the engine operates safely & efficiently.

So first thing that comes to most owners minds are....Cost Right?

The first "attractive" option to your wallet would be probably BBK or JBA..so lets use BBK for example since you can actually still source all the parts to put those together.

BBK Long Tube Headers 

The price seems great after clicking that right? Well unfortunately you still need a way to connect those to your current exhaust system 

So that's going to bring us to these BBK Mid Pipes, but wait..you will still need O2 Extensions, and the gaskets that are included aren't too high of quality so you'll need to add some of those to the bill too. 

Stainless Works Headers 

Okay now Stainless Works Enters the room! American Made, Lifetime warranty, Mid pipes, O2 Extensions, all necessary hardware in one box & they include reducers for the mid pipes to bolt right up to ANY aftermarket exhaust system or Factory regardless of the year of your Hemi Powered car. These are available in 2 sizes depending on power levels & goals.

Now that you've clicked that link I assume, the price tag may of been a little high for some owners, so lets get down to the best bang for your buck

What If I told you that same company, makes a header kit(all of the same amount of parts, I am just using a photo that shows the SP badge for example), but with a 2 year warranty instead. These are made over sea's welded by robots vs welded by man here in america(the stainless works version). Fit great, sound great and do not hurt your wallet as much. 

These are our go to header for a Scatpack or RT, we include these in all of our Cam & Header packages and our "Stage Kits". Never have had to even make a warranty claim in the past 3 years of selling these. They also tuck up nicely on lowered cars vs the BBK/JBA options.
