How hard/easy to install headers???

[shawn1112]

For those of you who have installed headers on your Ram 1500 4 x 4, how hard or easy was the install. I dont have a lift in my garage but have a decent set of tools. I have installed headers both on my Jeep Srt and Charger RT in the past. Both were a MAJOR PITA. I wound up just pulling the heads and installing them to the heads, then re-installing the heads, made life a hell of a lot easier imo. Prefer not to go that route on my Ram if I dont have too.

take out the fender wells and its not to bad . be prepared to dent one tube for the steering shaft ( maybe). use oem gaskets i used stage 8 bolts without issue but some say they rattle and can cause false knock. other than that its not that bad

Not very hard, just take your time with the bolts cause they break easy... but there is alot of room once the inner fender is removed as mentioned above.
but then you'll need some exhaust work from there if going with long tubes

edit. oh and many recommend heat and penetrating fluid first but you may be lucky and they pop right off
