Headers?
#11
Couple of things I found with them, The drivers side is a bitch to install with that damn heat shield( ended up cutting it off). Have small hands to fidget wires and bolts on, it was a tight fit for me. Like most other headers they run hot, the stock #4 plug wire boot touches the header. I upgraded wires and used plug boot covers to handle the added heat so far no probs (knock on wood). After about 30 mins of driving with them I got CEL code P0420 IIRC. Hopefully new O2 sensors will fix that and a cat if need be. As for perfomance, I cant really tell a difference over stock, however I can tell that I fixed the massive leak from the cracked stocker. Sound is about the same before I put them on, just a tad throatier. If you need more info on 'em, I'll try my best to answer any questions you have.
To the OP save your $ and get the ripps. if I was in the financial position to get them I would. Better power gains than the short style headers that I have read. Two reason why I got the flow daddys, cheap and not prone to cracking like the stockers.

By the way the Superchips was sold in less than a day. No problem on this forum.
And no heat issues period.

I just installed the jba ceramic headers on mine. No difference, and now I have an exhaust leak from the install I can't trace or fix. Tried everything to fix it.

But, like someone mentioned above, with headers, prepare for your spark plug wires overheating & possibly melting. I picked up some plug wire boots and that helped a lot. Haven't burned through a wire since.

Sounds like I'm for sure getting ripps then. Do they send you the tune and the diablo? Or do you have to buy that all separate as well?

Once you get the diablo tuner you will need to get the stock tune from your JK. Save that file to your desktop. You will need the program DS Downloader to do this. I think it came on a disk with my programmer or you can get it from thier site. You send your stock file to ripptuning@gmail.com
They will send a tune almost immediately. I sent them my email on a saturday morning thinking I would get my tune monday and I got it saturday night. Maybe I was lucky but they have a quick turn around.
You tuner will not come with a serial to USB cable or a power cable. Diablo sport sells a kit for $40. You have to have that to plug into your computer. It does not come with the Header package.
