all engines have exhaust headers but the headers your thinking of are aftermarket performance headers, the ones on the 440 from the factory are made of cast iron.
The temperature of exhaust headers can reach 600 degrees. The temperature can be extremely dangerous. Working around hot exhaust headers requires caution.
The answer would be "No, you don't have to". If you installed exhaust headers to improve performance then you might consider if your current exhaust system compliments the headers. Headers are designed to help evacuate exhaust gases and minimize back pressure. If an engine has exhaust headers that collect into a small single muffler and pipe then the effort is somewhat defeated. BUT, if the headers are installed for the "cool factor", and there is nothing wrong with that, then go ahead and use the stock pipes or as much as you can.
Maybe there is a leak on you exhaust headers. Maybe there is a leak on you exhaust headers. Alex
yes,go to eBay and check out the headers and exhaust systems.
Headers are aftermarket replacements for the exhaust maniflods. They are the parts bolted directly to the heads on the sides of the engine. They channel the exhaust from each cylinder down to the exhaust pipes. :)
Headers. Because less or no exhaust back pressure.
The old exhaust manifold will need to be removed. The new headers will either have to be made to fit the engine well, or the inner fenders will have to be modified to fit. Then the headers will need to be either mated to the old exhaust or a new exhaust system will need to be installed. In a v8 engine installation most people prefer a dual exhaust to maximize the headers capability.
Open headers are essentially an open exhaust system with no mufflers or catalog converters
In the exhaust pipes attached to the exhaust headers.
the ticking noise is a small exhaust leak close to the exhaust headers or exhaust pipe near the engine.
yes
