6L Headers... A few questions..

patrickke · Jul 5, 2011

Whose headers do you have?
How do you like them?
Gains?
Temp reduction?
Quicker spoolups?
Problems?

Basically I want to know how you like them etc...

Thanks,

Patrick

There's hardly anyone out there running headers. I'd use that money for a gogo intake manifold first before i'd get headers. There's more of a restriction with the intake manifold than there is with the exhaust manifolds.

I already had that in mind... I was just trying to match things up and continue helping the truck breathe

I would go with higher flowing manifolds over headers. But like Strokin6L said the bigger restriction is in the intake manifold.

What are your horsepower goals? Unless you are going all out I don't think they are needed.

Mdub707 · Jul 5, 2011

Since most high HP 6.4 builds use stock 6.0 manifolds, I'd say there is no need for them.

Maybe just get the 6.0 manifolds ported...

I agree

kyle43335 · Jul 5, 2011

port the 6l manifolds. they work good

patrickke · Jul 5, 2011

If I port the manifolds should I get them coated? This is for a drag truck

jdgleason · Jul 5, 2011

I would.... probably not necessary but a good idea

patrickke · Jul 5, 2011

I was thinking ceramic coating them would help keep in the heat or getting a manifold blanket

jdgleason · Jul 5, 2011

Ceramic coating will help the heat.... I cant speak for how much, but it should. Maybe do both if you are concerned.

unless your running a stock turbo.... i would. thermal retension is a good thing.

patrickke · Jul 5, 2011

Its a drag truck ... Im just trying to get some ideas for this winter

lol they dont get it patrick. DRAG TRUCK YALL. he likes the powa

patrickke · Jul 5, 2011

Yes I do... :tree:

... This truck is probably gonna make Rykan insane because I refuse to lose my AC...

I wonder if ceramic and getting levi to build me manifold blankets would be overkill

Lol whats the worse that could happen...? It runs cool? LOL

The best headers would be a 1 manifold conversion. Then remove .1 liter and utilize the 5.9. hehe.
