Long Tube Headers

Maximize exhaust scavenging, eliminate high-RPM backpressure, and unlock ultimate horsepower and torque gains with performance long tube headers. Featuring extended, equal-length primary tubes that merge into precision-engineered collectors, long tube headers are designed to capitalize on exhaust pulse timing. As each exhaust valve opens, the high-velocity pulse travelling down the long primary tube creates a low-pressure vacuum wave behind it, actively pulling leftover exhaust gases out of the combustion cylinder. Factory cast iron manifolds and short-length headers cannot produce this tuned scavenging effect, leaving restrictive backpressure trapped in the engine block.

Installing a set of performance long tube headers delivers significant horsepower and torque increases across the mid-range and top-end powerband—making them the premier exhaust upgrade for high-performance street, track, drag racing, and heavy-towing builds. Explore mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel and heavy-gauge steel long tube headers featuring 1-3/4 inch, 1-7/8 inch, and 2 inch primary tube diameters. Equipped with thick CNC laser-cut flanges to prevent warping, leak-free merge collectors, and matching catted or off-road connection pipes, find direct bolt-on long tube headers engineered across V8, V6, domestic, and truck engine platforms.
