Arh headers

12vrunner · Mar 10, 2017

Ok guys got my american racing headers i went 1 3/4 catless with y pipe. From the guys who have installed these any tips or tricks. They came with no instructions but im assuming pretty straight forward. And im thinking my gaskets came pretty mangled so probally goin to get some 6.1 hemi gaskets.

The best part of headers is the custom tune

Its pretty straight forward. Do Driver side first

Reinstall the dipstick tube before you bolt the drivers side header on solid.The bolt on the tube might give you trouble.I unbolted the driver side motor mount and jacked the engine up to gain enough clearance to remove it,some guys are cutting the bracket instead,either way will get the bolt out of the way. Stock up on beer,lots of it will make the job easier,lol

Ok yes i got the beer lol but dont wanna play with motor mounts lol. Ima just jump into it hell.

When they don't work out, please let me know and I will take them off your hands. :naughty:

I'm really interested in the process you're about to go through as I have been considering a set also.
Thanks,
Jay

Good luck with the install.

There's no need to worry about the fitment.....they go right in.... no denting required....lol. Not sure about the oil dipstick on the 2500 but on the 1500 had to be modified or turned a bit but that's about it. Good luck! Also if you havnt installed them...I highly recommend getting the ceramic coated on the inside and out. Had a local coating company do my ARH and Y pipe inside and out for $300. Helps with heat and flow as well as protects them. My headers still look brand new after 2 years of use...I had them coated in silver.

Do dipstick tube issues on 2500 at all. I have them in and they went in fine. A little bit of contorting to get the locking nuts I bought snugged up, but install was straightforward.

So whats the hp/torque gains on a set of ARH headers with a Hemifever tune ?

12vrunner · Mar 17, 2017

Hey guys just following up havent installed headers yet just decided and dropped them off to get ceramic coated. And going to pick up 6.1 hemi header gaskets from factory. I will keep you posted on any updates.

DILLIGAF · Mar 17, 2017

Mopar gasket are just rebranded fel pros. save your money and pick it up from the parts store/

Hipps2000 · Mar 18, 2017

Glad to hear your getting them coated! You won't regret it....I also used new mopar gaskets as well as stage 8 header bolts.

12vrunner · Mar 18, 2017

Yea decided to spend the money on the headers mine as well go all out lol. And to be honest was down to rock the arh gasket but came trashed i could probally get a new one sent actually havent tried just figured oem 6.1 gasket were a good choice.

Hipps2000 · Mar 18, 2017

Defiantly oem is best...many recommend them.

12vrunner · Mar 29, 2017

Ok guys finally got headers coated been busy at work though. Doing a little bit a day untill i get them done but heres a pic.

chargerrob1977 · Mar 29, 2017

they look good! should be straightforward.... I've installed a lot of headers, mostly on old musclecars. These were by far the easiest headers that ever went in.

Pull Ya · Mar 29, 2017

Do you mind if I ask how much the coating was? They sure look good

Hipps2000 · Mar 29, 2017
