Exhaust Manifolds & Headers
What You Need to Know About Exhaust Manifolds and Headers
Exhaust manifolds and headers are different parts, but they do the same job. An exhaust manifold is a stock part on most vehicles. It’s constructed from thick cast iron, moving exhaust gases from the engine to the exhaust system and then to the exhaust pipes. Headers are typically upgraded parts that don’t come as stock equipment from the factory. These parts are made from thin stainless steel and do the same thing as an exhaust manifold but generate less engine backpressure.
Most regular production vehicles have exhaust manifolds as stock equipment. Automakers use these because they’re durable and inexpensive to make. You might find headers on high-performance vehicles right from the factory. However, in most cases, headers are upgrades made to a vehicle after it’s been produced.
Headers are arguably more efficient than exhaust manifolds, but in most cases, they only provide a real power benefit to vehicles with high-performance engines. You probably won’t notice much extra power by installing headers on a regular commuter vehicle.
