How much HP do shorty headers add?
The headers will give you 8 to 15 additional HP gains, and come packaged with gaskets and the hardware needed for installation. Performance-tuned and engine-matched with performance gains at the lower to midrange RPM highway speeds.
Do you need a tune for shorty headers Mustang?
Shorty headers are not enough of an aspiration change to require a tune, unless you are removing the catalytic converters at the same time.
Are shorty headers bad?
Shorty headers are better than most stock manifolds because, although they also offer short runners like a manifold, they do not converge (in series) into a single plenum/log like a manifold. The shorty header utilizes the same termination style as a long-tube header — the collector.
Are shorty headers worth it?
If you’re driving a turboboosted engine, you will absolutely want shorty headers, but they’re also great for a variety of other drivers. If you’re looking to increase the performance of a vehicle that’s primarily your daily driver or commuter, shorty headers are a good idea.
Will shorty headers make my car louder?
But will it improve the sound of your car?! To put it simply – yes, an exhaust header will slightly improve the sound of your car.

Do headers make your car louder Mustang?
Your car will be significantly louder with headers and Roush axlebacks. Quieting down the car is all in the catback. Install the headers and see how the car sounds with the current setup. If it’s too loud for your liking, install a resonator.
What sounds better long tube or shorty headers?
Shorty headers aren’t as loud as long tube headers, although they’ll definitely have better sound than your stock manifold. You can choose unequal length headers for better sound, but equal length is the way to go for consistent gains in performance.
