Cracked Header
Well I've recently noticed a weird noise coming from the left side of my engine whenever I started it. So I took it in to the exhaust shop and they confirmed it - cracked left header. So now here is my question. What route should i go?
I went to the Chrysler/Dodge Lithia dealer here in Missoula and as I presumed it was a circus. I went to the parts manager and he told me to go over to over to service which for some reason said I needed to go talk to a sales manager who got mad because he wasn't sure why I was sent to talk to him so I just left that shit show and bailed. Anyways they want roughly $400 to fix it.
I know I could go this route and get it fixed or I could go with a set of headers from Ripp or I've read a couple threads about the Gibson headers What's the difference between short tube vs. long tube? Is their one better than another? Am I wasting my money going with headers as I've read they can get hot and start doing my harm than good?
Whichever route I go I need to get this fixed soon so any reply will be taken gratefully
