UpRev or Headers??

TedJohnson · 05-08-2008, 09:03 AM

I was just wondering what you guys think i should get first.. I dont have the money right now but i just wanna know what would be better to get first?!

I would think uprev. Once you have the uprev, you can always adjust it for the mods you add later! To take full advantage of the headers, you will need the uprev! Just my .02

Yeah i was kinda leaning that way too.

That's the way you want to go... Get the programmer first. That will help even in stock trim. Change the tune as you add your mods...

In the pictures i have seen of the stock manifolds they don't look very impressive. Depends on what your doin with your truck, like trying to get the best 1/4 mile times...but, I'd go with the Headers to help the VK56 breath and Listen to that Titan Roar everytime you step on the gas!

But what BB and Zack are saying probably makes the most sense, so meaningless input here - just throwin' out a different take on the matter

Definitely UpRev first. You DO NOT want to drive around with headers and not be tuned.

Well, no offense, but there isn't a factory exhaust manifold that can hold a candle to headers with regards to unleashing power. The bottomline is that an internal combustion engine is nothing more than a fancy air pump. But the factory design isn't focused on making more power. They are a conservative design to allow the parts to last, helping vehicle longevity and hence, the overall vehicle rating in the public eye. It's all about $$$$$, not track times, in the eyes of the manufacturers....

+1.

Headers alone without Uprev and you will actually loose some power. Your A/F/R will be all jacked up. You might even say to heck with the headers after you get Uprev. Single best mod as far as useability and bang for the $$$$.

Your definatly gonna want a tune of some sorts befor headers...

headers will actually cause you loose some compression in the engine cause of the increase in out going flow. Acoording to what kind of headers you buy you will prolly loose Hp but gain bottom end Tq. its a crazy science buts it works wonders when they are applied as one.

Sounds right, yeah install UpRev first get some HP and TQ gains WOT/Torque management adjusted with your AFR where it should be. From what I have read that alone will put a big grin on your face. Then install LT headers and B pipes with high flow cats and a new tune for that. more gains with everything adjusted nicely with UpRev/Osiris. This is the preferred pathway because once you install UpRev/Osiris you can tune for the mods you may have now and in the future
