Help with Headers

[RamminMopar]

I'm looking at these two options for my 2009 (3rd gen body with vvt hemi) Dodge Ram 2500 hemi. Mainly seeking longetivity and fitment. Any general good or bad experiences with jba or pacesetters? ARH are too pricey for me.

From back in my LS days, I never heard anything bad about Pacesetter's. They were pretty much the standard go-to header if you didn't want to go with one of the high dollar names. Plus they're a long tube 1 7/8" compared to the 1 5/8" shorty. Might as well go LT if you're going to do them.

Thanks that helps on the pacesetter, saw some bad reviews on the pacesetter but it seems it was people thinking the black paint was high temp and it wearing off asap and rotting out the headers quick, hoping the ceramic fixes that. Seems like jba shorties is the safe bet but pacesetter lt has the bigger upside. Thanks, im gonna ask a few shops and go from there.
