Afe shorty headers

[Tom Williams]

Hey all! Are these a good replacement for the oem manifolds? Anyone have them? How do you like them?

 

[CheechDogg.0n37s]

They are a great replacement ... Installed them on @the_goodguy07 's truck last year and he loves them ...

 

[Nick@GotExhaust]

They are a great option. Good fitment and flow, while NOT warping like the stock manifolds since the AFE's have a 3/8" steel flange!

Message me for a quote. These are normally in stock and ready to ship!!

Are the AFEs CARB approved?

 

[Burn2k12Ram]

Honesty probably the best ones you can get for these Hemi's. Already heat cycled so have no worries of warping. Good choice.

 

[Ghost1500]

Hmmm, when the time comes, I'd like these with some jet hot coating on them.

No they are not ...

Crap!

 

[CheechDogg.0n37s]

Crap!

But honestly, even if you put them on your truck nothing is going to happen unless you mention to the SMOG shop that you have headers lol .... @the_goodguy07 installed them on his truck last year and I don't think he's had issues with them ...

What I would do is keep your manifolds and if you know you are going to need a SMOG, change them out ...doesn't take that long to do so and you can do it ahead of time ...

They are definitely worth it though

 

[CheechDogg.0n37s]

Crap!

I see you are in OC, you can actually go to their office in Corona and pick them up yourself ...

Definitely considering…

Are you planning on doing it yourself?

Hell No! I’m a computer geek who knows his limitations. LOLOLOL

I‘ve got a friend who builds hot rods (one of the few people I’d just toss my keys to). If he‘s interested, then I’ll have him do it. If not, I’ll have to find a shop.

If you don't find anyone let me know, already done it and it was actually fun lol ... we can down a few cold ones and make some carne asada and kick back lol ....

So I’m thinking I need to get the headers, Remflex gaskets (already in my Amazon shopping cart), and new ARP bolts?

That's the usual suspects for a header job. I have ZERO personal experience with the AFE headers but some/most long tubes require either an aftermarket dipstick or modify your stock one. I'm not sure if that's true with shorty headers or not.

 

[TomT]

Just based on my reading in the forum, it doesn’t appear that the dipstick is an issue. Other than being in an annoying place on the 4x4 trucks

The dipstick is not an issue at all ... you just have to move it a bit and you are good to go ...

The "difficult" part which I just found tedious, was the driver side. Getting to some of the bolts on the bottom side was a pain in the ass but with my small hands lol it was pretty easy ...

You don't need new ARP bolts, the bolts the AFE headers come with are fine .. just the gaskets and headers and you are all set ...

Sweet! I wasn’t aware the bolts were included.
