We have been running them for 4 years now and no issues on our JK. One side has a heat shield, some like it while some don't... the reson being this isn't installing a new front bumper, there is some work/planning involved. With a good set of wires they run cooler than the manifolds, if you use stock wires you must be careful how you run and how you route. Thanks
I have heard the flow daddy headers run very hot and burn even high heat plug wires. This was a few years ago i heard this. I have used a lot of rustys stuff before and have never been let down hopefully they corrected the problem. Let's see if anyone chimes in with a update.

I see that Gibson has a ceramic coated version. Granted, they're $100 more than the stainless. But sounds like a good way to go in terms of engine compartment heat / protecting wires, etc.

RIPP SS Long Tube headers and diablosport tune
Why RIPP.
Made with the highest quality T304 stainless, these direct bolt-in systems are manufactured to provide outstanding performance and a great fit. All systems come with standard with 3/8" thick flanges, merge-style collectors with scavenger spikes and severe duty metallic substrate cats. For your convenience we've also added all the plug-and-play Oxygen sensor extensions, and O2 bungs for relocating factory O2's . As an added feature, RIPP made sure the stock exhaust heat shields bolt back in place, so you don't run into trouble with under hood plastics like our competitors do. This system is considered the highest quality and most powerful brand in the Wrangler world, we take our performance seriously and so should you. Don't be fooled by short tube header design brand or price. Our header truly delivers on its promise. They are a three piece bolt together design, which provides an easy installation in comparison to the competitions. The Tig welded and hand ported 3/8" thick flanges mate perfectly and make sure the gaskets will not leak. Fully welded 3 into 1 merge collectors with Scavenger Spikes assure equal exhaust pulsations. Also included are two - 200 cell ultra high flow metallic substrate cats which help keep things legal and eliminate the worry for pesky check engine lights. In short these are the best hand crafted header for that V6 and will provide on average of 35lbs/ft or torque 600 RPM sooner than stock and 25 rear-wheel HP gains with excellent response throughout the RPM range.
Question welcome.

I have my stock headers and exhaust if your interested pm me also the Gibson headers I have are still holding up great but make sure you get high heat spark plug wires since the heat shields they give you aren't the greatest things in the world.
