Headers (also known as exhaust manifolds) are the part that takes the spent exhaust gases from each individual cylinder of the engine, bring them together, and expel them from the vehicle (usually passing through one or more catalytic converters and one or more mufflers on the way). V-layout engines (V6, V8, etc) have two headers, whereas inline engines have just one. Usually, the term "headers" is only used for performance-enhancing aftermarket replacements for the factory exhaust manifolds. If a car needs new headers, that generally means that the existing manifolds have been damaged in some way. One common cause of this is rust.

What is new cpp headers?

Not sure what you mean by "new" headers. You probably mean the C++ standard library headers, however these headers have been in existence since before 1998 when the language first became standardised. Prior to that, C++ used the C standard library headers, all of which have a .h extension. The C++ standard library headers have no file extension.
