Pulled the triger long tube headers

Numnutz · Dec 24, 2016

I had to do it!!!
$299 shipped to my door.
Three hundred dollars for Stainless Long Tube Headers. I know, it's flea bay, but what the hell, someone made these for a manufacturer, even if I have to touch up the welds.

Make sure you order some o2 extensions or be ready to make your own. It's easy but just wanted to throw it out there lol.

They sort of resemble a set of Kooks

I did notice that. Unlike the OBX the tubes aren't welded two or three piece, they appear to be one piece except for one. Like I said, I'll check the welds when I get them, if I have to touch them up it's no big deal. What I also noticed is, all the tubes seem to be the same length.

What are you going to run for a Y pipe? Or are you gonna go ahead and make it a true dual set up? I'm definitely curious on the quality and fitment of these as well

how hard would it be to run a true dual exhaust? tks

12sportmc · Dec 24, 2016

So pretty basic if you have a decent muffler shop. Just a matter of pipe bending and flaring. Adding some flanges to mate with the headers.

Here is an example of what the set up would look like

These look great, I've been eyeing a set for a while. My only concern would be fitment with 4x4, steering shaft clearance and the quality of the hardware.

The other thing, Kooks seems to be the only one advertising 1 3/4", everything else is 1 7/8"
I'm actually pretty excited.

I'm going to start asking early.
Anyone know the torque pattern and the torque of the bolts?

Good chance you'll be tightening a lot of them with a wrench,so "good-n-tight" is the torque rating.I never did look up a torque sequence,i just did a circle pattern when I tightened mine.Starting in the middle and working my way out to the end ones.Mine have been on for 12,000 miles with no leaks and I've never re-torqued them,and that's with the poor fitting JBA's I have.

novelmike · Dec 25, 2016

$299 AND free shipping too?!? That's how much a Carven exact fit muffler costs!
The Dow is knocking on 20,000....
Ram 1 3/4 headers for less than $300....
what else can Trump do for us?!?!

I have the stainless works long tubes and they are 1 3/4".

Is it just me, or are the "long tube headers" in this thread, short? And quite straight? I know my long tubes are about twice that length and turn down and back again.

Pictures in the same thread?

Kooks do look shorter, man! I hope the fitment is correct.

ramittome · Dec 25, 2016

Yeah, hoping they work for you. I just know it's tight under there, hoping the way they look straight are correct.

You'll need a tuner and custom tune to actually have real HP gains.

Even with O2 extenders the truck will run like ****. And Some still throw codes.

DILLIGAF, I'm all set with the tuner and the Tuner (Jay Greene).
This guy is the best!
I never met a better man, he works with you from start to finish.
