Broken manifold bolts, shorty headers?

[Hbrichman]

Hey all,

Still trying to learn everything about my Hemi. Within the past week or two my truck has begun having a tick on startup which goes away within a minute or two. It's a 2014 with 61k miles. I'm almost positive what I'm dealing with are broken manifold bolts. I know this is a common issue, and I'm trying to find out how everybody resolves it for good. I got the truck a few months ago and it came with warranty from Fidelity for 1 year or 12,000 miles so I'm going to look more into that tomorrow. But at the same time I'm wondering if just getting some headers and calling it a day would be better in the long run to eliminate the issue so I'm looking for some opinions. If headers are the way to go, I'd probably go with the shortys and I'm seeing that bbk and jba are mentioned often?

Thanks!

Thats what I plan on doing as its not if its when they break.
Headers seem to solve thus problem and shorties are the cheaper and easier way to go.
I would stick with JBA myself.

Long tubes are better, but cost more and requires a tuner, so more money. Shorties will pass emissions and those tree hugger headaches, I went JBA shorties myself.

JBAs are the way to go for shorties. They're CARB certified and will solve the broken bolt problem.

If you're avatar is correct,i don't think there's much in the way of off the shelf headers for a 3.6.

The 3.6 was my old truck, thought I updated it but I guess not

I put JBA ceramic coated shortys on mine last year. Looked at them yesterday while changing the oil. They look the same as the day I took them out of the box. Zero issues.

Thanks for all the replies so far, looks like the JBA shortys will be the way to go once I have the funds together. Where are you all ordering them from?
