I have the option to buy a set of Gibson gp311s-c
Log style headers for 225$ on local Craigslist.
I've searched and found 1 post on someone using them and he wasn't too impressed with them but I don't want to form an opinion on one review....
So I'm hoping some of y'all may be able to offer up some other info.
I've attached a pic they list for 665$ on summit
Thanks

What little I know about headers doesn't lead me to think those are anything more than a sheet-metal exhaust manifold. I don't see how they can affect TQ/HP without tuned runners. What I would guess is that they make the truck sound "faster" but think a proper cat-back exhaust would be easier to install and likely produce more measurable gain. But, maybe there's something I'm missing.

Save your money. Those things are ******* garbage

Put it next to a factory manifold an it will answer your question.

"Log" Headers ???

I already have a flowmaster cat back system and an intake
HEMI fever tune
I saw those today and saw they went for 600$ plus and thought "wow what a deal" but guess not so after all...
After doing more research jba shortys can be had for another 125$ guess I'll go that route
Thanks fellas

Long tubes would be a better bang for your buck vs the JBA shorties

I have those same headers, replaced my jba's with those. They are port matched and don't have the annoying valve train noise of the jba headers.
