Do shorty headers improve performance?

Shorty headers perform best in the idle to mid-RPM range. This makes them the perfect headers for vehicles that rely on low-RPM power, like a daily commuter or a work pickup that sees a lot of towing and hauling.

Do shorty headers make any difference?

The benefit of shorties is relative ease of installation. In most cases, they will connect to your existing mid-pipe and you’ll see a gain in power. Long-tube headers will require a new (shorter) mid-pipe, but a properly designed set will often improve power.

Are shorty headers better than long tube?

Shorty headers aren’t as loud as long tube headers, although they’ll definitely have better sound than your stock manifold. You can choose unequal length headers for better sound, but equal length is the way to go for consistent gains in performance.

Are Shorty headers worth it?
