Headers are aftermarket replacements for the exaust manifolds. They are the parts bolted directly to the heads on the sides of the motor. They channel the exaust from each cylinder down to the exaust pipes.

∙ 12y agoThey replace the exhaust manifolds. Headers have a separate tube for each cylinder which makes it easier for the exhaust to flow. They are also bigger diameter so there is not as much back pressure. The easier an engine can breathe, the more horsepower it will have and the faster the car can go. It is not a huge difference, but it does help.

Will 1967 dodge darts headers work on a 1966 dodge dart for a 360 engine swap?
I believe they should work as I think the 66 and 67 had the same body style. They will not work. If you research the TTI headers (though expensive) it will show you that the headers for the 318/340/360 are rather narrow when used for the 63-66 A-Body, when you look for the 67-72 A-Body you will see they have a much larger outward sweep thus needed much more room within the fender well. I have been beating this to death as I just pulled the 170 /6 out of my 66, and am putting in a 318. Again TTI makes one of the best headers for this vehicle, but they are around 600-700.
