headers for hemi

[kecker24]

best headers out there for good price!?
ive seen jba for around 600
stainless works 1000?
american racing for 1000?
so is 1 7/8 the best size for headers?
just want the best sound and most gains

Either size is fine and all of them will perform and produce around the same amount of power.

I will say if a supercharger is in the future. Go with the 1 7/8's.

IMO go 1 3/4" if you tow, or won't supercharge in the future.
Also, $600 will get you shorties which have very limited power adding; the $1000+ sets are longtubes which have far more gains- a few members here have bought & sold their shorties to get the gains of the longtubes; THAT is an expensive lesson.
ARH or Stainless works if it were my $$.

^ JBA longtubes are under $600 for the bare stainless ones. Then price goes up to about $700 & $800 coated I believe.

IDK about the others, but stainless works already has the midpiping done, including the y pipe

From what I understand, even 1 3/4 is just fine even if you supercharge. I'm waiting for the Vrams to release :]

Yes 1 3/4" is fine with a Supercharger but better with a 1 7/8" primary.

With the VVT you can get away with the larger primary then typically would be used.

I went with the 1 7/8 SSW .No SC just the full dual cat back. Kick in the pants!! Go with these! Go big or nothing....

X2 on this^^

I went with shorties and then on to longtubes. Go all the way the first time and save the hassle.
