    Hey everyone,

    I'm in the midst of a L32 swap (since my L67 died), and it's just about to go in. My main question is do I need header to safely run this Gen V? It's all stock except for a U bend delete and CAI. If I can find someone local I'll probably be getting a tune, or MAYBE a Wbodystore box tune.

    Thoughts?

    No. Stock manifolds are fine. Headers won't help you at all.

    Awesome, in my build thread I was told that I need headers, because upgrading to a Gen V is like running a 3.4 pulley on a Gen III.

    Thanks for the response!

    The l32 runs stock manifolds so you running manifolds will be fine. But having the motor out is opportune time to throw headers on.
