Hi everyone,


I was wondering...instead of getting my exhaust manifold replaced again and again at the dealership...what would a good aftermarket header be? I'm running superchips hi octane tune. And I'll have a corsa dual exhaust installed soon. I have 5.13 gears if any of that makes a difference. So what would a good header be? I might supercharge this someday. But i dont know if ripp long tubes are really worth it. I don't want Gibson headers as they melt plug wires. What would you suggest?

Thanks

Sean

The only header setup that will get you "gains" will be the RIPP long tubes. I have the JBA titanium ceramic shorty headers, and they've been great as a manifold replacement, but they aren't leaps and bounds over the stock setup.

Hope that helps.

I have the Banks headers, and they also melt plug wires and I dont notice any preformance gains. They also generate way to much heat under that hood.

Eh, gonna try to get my Rusty's headers put on this coming weekend. I'll post up in here with some feedback.

RIPP long tubes are the best

Thanks! I love how I was gonna order a set of Rustys...then didn't. Then my manifolds craps the bed. O well. Live n learn. I think I want ripps. But I have heard they don't give much gain

I got the RIPP headers and am telling you there are big gains with it. I got the headers without the tune first, and I felt good power gains, then with the tune, huge gains. Here's mine:

Here's after the Header Install but before the Tune - Note, the text below the video (they said '08, that was a typo)

So if I do only headers and keep my superchips im ok? Or do I need to use their tune?

I think you need their tune, but I would ask them to make sure. If you have to use theirs, you can sell the superchips on this forum pretty easily I'm thinking.

Haha ya. I need it to calibrate my speedo tho. I think I'll wait and do my aev lift and ripp headers at the same time. That way I can de program my jeep have aev do my lift and procal it. Then have them install my headers for me. Then do the ripp tune
