Why Long Tube Headers?
Factory exhaust manifolds are designed for packaging and cost, not performance. Long tube headers use tuned primary tube lengths to create exhaust scavenging — where the exiting exhaust pulse actively pulls the next exhaust charge out of the cylinder. The result is measurable horsepower and torque gains across the RPM range, improved throttle response, and a more aggressive exhaust note. Pair with a performance catback for maximum results.
Tune recommended after installation for best results.
