I would wait until there are headers specifically available for the 2014 trucks. Even if they did bolt up to the engine the same as previous years (i'm not sure on the exhaust bolt pattern), the piping routing may be different around the transmission, cross members, etc, and there could be a high chance they won't fit. I know that on my 2009 and my 2010 that the piping for the headers had some tight spots and I wouldn't want to risk wasting money on parts that were definitely for a different generation/chassis of the vehicle.

 

Edit: American Racing already has headers available for 2014 trucks:

Has anybody been lucky enough to try these out yet? I hate it when I open the hood and see these damn manifolds

My dealership told me I could put headers on and full exhaust as long as I didn't tune it. Straight from the service managers mouth.

Personally I'd stay away from ARH. I've seen multiple threads get locked on corvette forum after nick from arh has been caught lying about his "American made" claims even with import documents from china.

 

I've run LG on my C6Z and Kooks on my F150. I'm waiting to see what Kooks has in the works.

Probably preaching to the choir here, but if you do put on headers make sure you have them ceramic coated first. It reduces the engine bay heat by 50% or more (depending on which coating you get), they look like new years after the install, and the inside coating actually improves exhaust flow (abeit minor).

My buddies and I run polydyne coatings on our turbo manifolds. They stand up awesome to the heat.

Those series from Gibson Exhaust claim to work on the 2014 Suburban and Tahoe which all have the 5.3 EcoTec3 type engines, same as the Silverado. They're shorties so they should just bolt on and direct replace the manifolds. When I save up the money I'm either going to try these or the shortie headers from JBA too.

 

For long tube, the Kooks 6753 Long tubes seem to fit 2006 to 2012 on Summits page. Who knows, as long as the exhaust ports match up and the frame hasn't changed a whole lot, these might fit too.

Somebody else will chime in after me be I'm fairly sure you got some information crossed. 14 tahoes are not Echotech, they are still Vortec. Silverado was first to get Echotechs in full size trucks frames. 2015 tahoes did get the new motor though if I'm. It mistaken.

 

I'm pretty sure those headers will not work so be patient and play the waiting game like the rest of us are doing. Due to the Compression of these engines I think I've made up my mind to go NA so Headers and Gears are next on my list... ARH headers are starting to burn a hole in my pocket but I'm going to give it a couple more months ad see what else surfaces. First company to release 4:10's that fit are getting my money though.

You are correct, 2014 SUV's are still on the GMT-900 platform and still run the Gen Iv Vortec Not the Gen V Ecotech3

Lol... No problem. Kooks make a great product though, that produce very impressive numbers in LSx engines that I'm sure will not disappoint on these new engines either.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think.

Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences.
