ok so I have a headed bolt broke on my 06 hemi. And the leak is driving me crazy. I want to fix it but I've also thought about just getting new headers. So what would yall recommend me to do..

I've seen quite a few that have hairline cracks down the manifold when the bolts break. If your gonna fix it you might as well get some descent headers, Gaskets, and bolts and be done with it. Broken header bolts are common.

What would be a good brand that won't break the bank and give me a little more horse power.

I would look into some Pacesetter LTs while you are at it! How hard is it to get a broken bolt out?

I had 3 broken bolts on mine. We took the unbroken bolts out and removed the manifold. Then the broken bolts were out far enough to get a vice grips on and turn them out

They add horsepower over the stock manifolds long tubes are supposed to be better overall low-end and high end power I've only dealt with shorties there easy bolt ons
