Anyone Running RIPP Log Tube Headers with a Long Arm Lift?
#31
Teraflex are actually the ones installing it for me, they said it was off by about an inch and had to make some cuts to get it to work somewhere where the y comes together, I'll take some pics when I pick it up. But I think it's not the 3"long arm teraflex kit that's the problem, they said ripp long arm headers didn't fit the vehicle. And I bought the long arm headers for this year and model, that said it was a simple plug-in install. As the teraflex long arm front driver side bracket hits the cat, making it necessary to cut it and rotate it, as I did. Yet it was still to close and knocked, off and on while driving. So hoped this long arm header would fix that, and not create another issue. Excited to drive it. Can't wait! Hear grand things about the headers

When you say hits the cat, are you talking about your factory cats? Because I thought the Ripp Headers that were specifically designed for the long arm application did not come with cat's built into the headers. Did yours come with cat's built in?

Ya factory cat was hittIng new long arm bracket and sounds like the same cut Teraflex
That sounds an awful lot like what I had to do to mine. We had to make a cut in the crossover and rotate it toward the center about an inch to clear the new control arm bracket.

I with you now. Post some pics after you get her back. Curious to see the difference from my set-up. Did you buy the hush power resonator too? Or do you have a cat-back with the muffler that is an offraod version and takes the place of where the hush power would go?
