New Headers! Yes their brand "X". Yes their shorties..

[Txdrewski]

But hey...137 bucks...Shipped to my door...With gaskets and bolts.
I know some of you are are gonna jump on the brand "A" or "B" wagon... Save it please. And I know LT headers do this and that for HP/TQ but the price of the headers/x/or y pipe, to me anyway, is too much when compared the price (and surprisingly, quality) of the shortie knock off. I dont wanna run duals, and I dont wanna have to fab or purchase another intermediate pipe. Nor do I wish to pay a shop to do the labor. I wanted a cheap shortie header to give me maybe 10-14HP ( you think?), and I wanted to be able to do the install myself. Thats what I feel Ive gotten, and then some.

Welds look really good IMO. And I did take them to a local muffler shop where a long time friend of mine works, and he agreed that indeed the welds do look good. I may grind a little around the exhuast ports, I think they could use a liitle touch up. I plan to either spray on a few layers of ceramic coating (they are stainless), or maybe use some header wrap. All in all, for 137.00..... Im happy. Ill update after install and letcha know how they do periodically.

Didint know 5 was the max

Thats a great deal. I too have shorties.
Silver ceramic coating would work also.

Ha... Meant to post this in the 2nd gen forum. Im assuming a moderator can shuffle this on over there

All I will say is don't use the gaskets that came with them, get a good set of header gaskets. Some have had good luck using the remflex gaskets others use a Gibson gasket.

Not to knock your purchase but I hope you have better luck than the others that have had these headers.

This is based on that they are the x brand Ebay headers.

Who makes the headers?

 

[Txdrewski]

They are made in house by a company that sells on ebay... Basically, they are knock offs of PaceSetter most likely. They probably just copied the design. Like I said though, the weld quality looks really good. At the advice of KGBIGCOUNTRY, I ran a straight edge and level across every angle I could on the flanges. They seem to be level and flat all the way around. So they should seal up nicely... I hope...

Have you installed these yet?

 

[Txdrewski]

Not yet been working. Hopefully I'll have time next week.

I had a similar set on my Dakota with the 3.9. They worked really well, and was more than happy with them.

Passenger side looks very easy, drivers side looks like loads of fun lol.

 

[ChillyPhil]

I got a set and the driver side eventually cracked at a weld. He shipped me a new one and it's fine, but the gaskets are leaking. I'll be getting Gibson ones when I get tired of the ticking, lol.

Just use good gaskets the first time around and you should be fine.
