GMC Sierra Headers

Unleashing exhaust flow for maximum performance, GMC Sierra Headers eliminate those restrictive factory exhaust manifolds that create bottlenecks in otherwise capable engines. These precision-engineered components improve exhaust gas scavenging while potentially increasing both horsepower and torque across the entire RPM range, with benefits particularly noticeable in the mid-range where most daily driving occurs. Quality headers maintain proper emissions compliance while significantly enhancing exhaust note characteristics that make driving more engaging.

 

Material composition determines both performance longevity and appearance retention – premium options utilize 304 stainless steel that resists corrosion despite extreme heat cycling and environmental exposure that quickly deteriorates lesser materials. Collector design sophistication reveals engineering focus, with proper tube diameter and length calculations for optimal scavenging effect rather than simply connecting larger pipes. Consider complete installation packages including gaskets, hardware and detailed instructions rather than basic components that leave critical details unaddressed during complex installation processes.

GMC Sierra Headers

Installing performance headers in place of the stock components found in your GMC Sierra, using well-made 1999-2018 headers from aftermarket parts companies, provides a power boost on its own and works even better combined with other mods. AmericanTrucks carries the finest quality headers made today for pickup truck use, with your choice of shorty headers and long tube headers. Materials used include 16-gauge wall tubing made from rust-proof stainless steel, in many cases with a ceramic coating to offer even more corrosion resistance. These parts suck exhaust fumes strongly out of the cylinders – “scavenging” – which cuts down on backpressure and lets the engine run freer and stronger, generating up to a couple of dozen extra horsepower and ft/lbs of torque. AmericanTrucks stocks GMC Sierra headers for both 5.3L V8 engines and 6.2L V8 engines.
