[JB RACING]

Hi
Has anyone purchased a set of Headers from ebay that sell for under $200..
I am tempted to buy a set for my 2017 so at $250 CDN delivered sounds like a steal..

Thanks

Hope ya like workin on your truck and having leaks.. Lol save your stock manifolds for when you need to change back again.

 

[JB RACING]

really that bad!
I see 76 sold.

So which Brand are the best to get?

 

[Brandon-w]

Jba ceramic are said to be good. Stay away from bbk, Chinese crap like the ebay ones. You get what you pay for. I went with afe stainless long tubes with cat delete. Best of the best are arh headers.

I went with bbk to start they faile on be rather quickly, I went with afe long tubes and Havnt had even the slightest issue. Plus the gains were worth it in my opinion.

yes I see your point. I looked at the AFE and are quality product.
I will get those stock replacement as they look awesome.
Thanks for your input.

You're welcome. Just hate seeing someone do the same job twice and spend more than they need to. I went With bbk at first because the reviews were good and they were cheap but they were garbage sadly. [emoji53]

mmm Remember this long you will.

Cheap parts NOT GOOD
Good parts NOT CHEAP Grasshopper.

The only good thing about using cheap ass parts is you get to know your truck really well. Know exactly what position to be IN, ON or UNDER to get that bolt out AGAIN!

 

[Tim Garceau]

Yeah it’s a bit of a job, shorties are quick since you don’t have to deal with the y-pipe.

That and exhibiting some colorful language frequently when you can't get at that one bolt haha.

If they're a long tube header,there's a few guys running them on the facebook pages.So far I haven't heard anybody yelling or ******** about them. Might be worth taking a chance on them for that price. Use Remflex gaskets with them if you do buy them,they'll compensate for a few issues

 

[Pull Ya]

^^ At that price you can buy a couple of sets--I'm pretty sure you'll need the second set--if not you can always sell them to someone you don't like---LOL

Personally if you're looking at headers I would spend the extra money and get the JBA ceramic coated headers. I've had a used set on my truck for over a year now with 0 leaks. I used Stage 8 bolts without the locking tabs.

Also JBAs are the only CARB certified headers available for our trucks if thats important for you. Here in MA that was my only option.

I used a set of JBA Shorty headers on my 1997 RAM 4x4 and put 150,000 miles on it, never had any problem. They were ceramic coated and dropped my under hood temp almost 50 degrees.

Their are a set of flowtech 91950 for sale on ebay.. he says 2009-2014. But they should fit the 2017!!!
The seller says they should..

Those are junk and will rot out within a year.

but as the saying goes, “ You can lead a horse to water...”
