It’s just long tubes after that I believe! American racing claims no tune needed with there Jessecats head pipes! When I see at least 4 or 5 running on stock tune with no cel then it’s a maybe! Just the afe manifolds absolutely made a difference!! But a lot of issues.

How are the engine temps with the ARH headers @Noobicon ?

Thinking of doing very similar upgrades to what you've done but have been told heat will be an issue. With plastic bits in the engine bay melting and overall engine temps getting very high

I had the headers coated with Jet Hot ceramic coating and am pretty confident it is actually cooler in the engine bay now that it was stock. I also added dimple die venting to the aluminum American Adventure Lab fender liners which I am sure also help. I haven’t run a thermometer under the hood but i have accidentally touched the coated headers a couple times and didn’t get burned. This is the first vehicle I’ve coated the headers on and was shocked what a difference it makes.

@Noobicon did you have to buy new hardware for the headers? My ARHs are shipping out hopefully tomorrow.
