ConflictMid-Pipe — Long tube headers require a catted or off-road mid-pipe to complete the exhaust path.

+1 similar reason
  • Long tube header collectors sit further back than stock manifolds. The factory mid-pipe will not bolt up — an aftermarket mid-pipe sized for the headers is required.

What Does This Do?

a Fe's Twisted Steel headers are CNC-mandrel bent from 304 stainless steel for smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow. The 1-7/8" primary tubes are sized perfectly for the 6.4 L HEMI — large enough for great flow without losing exhaust velocity. The merge collectors use a performance-optimized design that reduces turbulence where the individual tubes come together. Like all long tube headers, these REQUIRE matching mid-pipes (factory mid-pipes won't bolt up) and a tune to recalibrate the engine for the improved exhaust flow. The gains are substantial — 25-40 HP depending on the rest of your setup.

Why Install This?

Benefits

  • Noticeable power improvement you'll feel in daily driving and pulls
  • Headers are one of the best power-per-dollar exhaust upgrades
  • Long tubes offer more power but are harder to install; shorty headers are easier but give less gain

Things to Know

  • Long tube headers typically require a tune for best results
  • May affect emissions compliance depending on your state
  • Professional installation recommended — requires specialty tools or expertise
