Chevy pickup headers are designed to upgrade the exhaust system, adding efficiency for better vehicle performance. The typical factory exhaust system uses an exhaust manifold to collect the waste products expelled from the exhaust valves of the engine into one common area to be carried away from the engine by the exhaust system. This system can be prone to backpressure, as the burst of hot exhaust gasses from one cylinder must fight the pressure of the emissions from its neighboring cylinder to make its way out of the exhaust manifold to travel through the rest of the exhaust system.
Headers are designed to eliminate the problem of backpressure, which robs the engine of power. Chevy Pickup headers provide each engine cylinder with its own little exhaust pipe, allowing the exhaust fumes to move away from the engine more efficiently.
This simple improvement in exhaust system function can provide a substantial difference in the performance and power output of the engine, supplying a boost in power that is comparable to many more complex and expensive power upgrade accessories. Headers add this extra power and performance without lowering the fuel economy of your vehicle. In fact, the increased efficiency provided by headers can even improve fuel mileage in some engines. Bolting right on to the factory mounting points which hold the exhaust manifold, headers are quick and easy to install and they add a great custom look under the hood of your vehicle.
