They don't have headers for the 2013 v6 2LS

I'm not sure what manufacturer/reseller are you trying to get if from but from this thread looks like there are headers for the LFX engine we have...

Those are not true exhaust headers.
The reason we don't have headers, is because it is not possible without changing out parts of the engine. We do not have exhaust manifolds, we have a downpipe. The part ARH makes for the LFX is simply another downpipe, with high flow cats. I see no point in wasting money on that when you can just get high flow cats if that's what you really want, and even high flow cats are a waste of money in CA because they are not CARB approved and therefore fail smog. So if you want HFC and don't mind failing smog, you'd save hundreds of dollars simply cutting off the catalytic converters, which is a bigger power gain either way. If you're really worried about the smog of CEL you can get a tune after taking the cats off or emptying them out. Installing the ARH "headers" and telling people you have headers is simply... wrong. They are not headers

headers vs exhaust manifold:

and this is our downpipe, which is neither a manifold nor header:




Nice looking ride by the way OP, keep it up

I will post pics and apparently the sound is a bit louder too which would be great if so.. i notice alot of guys did the throttle body or throttle body controller, i wanted to do both and see the turn out..

Since I also have the IPF tune, i was getting 22.5mpg and then after the tune it went down to 19.9mpg and Andy from IPF told me stop having so much fun with the car and I took his word since last week and I can't believe I got 5 mpg more and got me to 24.4mpg cruising at 1500 to 2000 ram's in the city at around 40-50mph. Excited to see what this setup does..

So the ported throttle body didn't come in at the same time but can you tell where I have the throttle body controller installed and what mode I'm driving???

On SP4 it's ahhh ok but SP9 was a completely different ball game. . Absolutely love it! Can't wait for the Ported throttle body to come in and install that too..
