Exhaust Headers

[iCryWheniGoPoop]

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

It's on my list....

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.
