I'm not up the lastest shorties!

[Georgiasport]

I have the lifetime warranty and can only go with shorty headers. I thought JBA's were the way to go, but not sure if recently there is anything better? Any help or insight would be great.

From what I’ve understood (far from expert) when I looked into this for my 2016 with lifetime warranty is JBA and Kooks are top choices. Others such as BBK are reported by others to not last and you read a lot of had to do the job twice and woulda been cheaper with higher quality brand the first time type of thing. I feel there was a thread recently in engine section here about BBK where a couple guys posted they recently went with Kooks and are very happy

Thanks for the info. I'll have to research the Kooks

Kooks shorties are the most expensive but you pay for the best.

I've had Kooks headers before. It was on a Mustang and they were shorties. Very good quality. Definitely better than JBA and BBK.

Yeah, that's why I ordered mine from Summit. Ordered on 3 August, expected ship date 21 September (from Kooks). That's a long time, but it is getting closer!!

i ended up ordering them today also, i think my screen said either 9-21 ship date or 10-12 ship date. i'm looking forward to them. this will be the first time i've ever done something like this on a truck i have a warranty on (also have lifetime) i'm hoping i wont get any pushback on any warranty repairs if they ever come up.

Maybe they have a batch coming on the 21st.

These continue to get solid reviews outside of a few home mechanics not having the proper tools.

Purchase a swivel and ratcheting 10mm combo wrench.

POWERGO MOTORSPORT 1353403840 1-3/4 x 2-1/2 inches 304 Stainless Steel Shorty Headers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X3SHNYP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cCuxFbWHV1K44

The Kooks will provide a better flow through however as they match the OEM 2.5” collector diameter.

WOW! I read a few of the bad reviews and you're right they're only bad because of the persons own fault not being prepared. They give low stars because they are hard to install. Unreal!

I have PowerGo Motorsports shorties on my 2011 and absolutely love them. While I agree you get what you pay for I think these are an exceptional value and they appeared to be of very high quality. Even my cousin who is a licensed lead welder for Boss snowplow here in Iron Mountain looked at them and commented on the quality of the welds. Time will tell....

How do you like them now?

 

[smitty21]

I also have the PowerGo motorsports headers on my 2013 bighorn. I have had them on for almost a year now and then are doing well. I will really be able to tell after the go through there first IL winter.

 

[Nick@GotExhaust]

From what we have seen AFE and Kooks are the best shorties. The JBA shorties would be a distant 3rd but still a decent option.

I went with the PowerGos. Dropped them off at PolyDyn today to have them ceramic coated with their rust inhibiting primer. Will be a week or so to get them back, and then maybe another week or so after that before I can get them on the truck.
