It sounds amazing, Nice Job.
Nice thing about this job, is you wont have to worry about fixing the f’n broken bolts over and over again. 🇨🇦👍🏼
I'm doing my long tubes today thank you good sr.
I have noticed that the exhaust exist and flows way better from many videos so I can’t Fn wait to get home to Alberta and install mine

Can see when someone steps on gas to show sound with stock then after change exhaust shoots out faster and relaxes faster also Free flow
Are you having heat transfer issues? I am wondering if i should wrap my shortys before installing them.

I wanted to wrap mines too, I contacted bbk if it's alright and they said they do not recommend it. So I just left it. Have no issues.
Did you ever have a check engine light? Mine turn on when I install my intake in

No I have no check engine light. If you have a check engine light after you intalled the cold air intake, check the mass airflow sensor on the intake pipe.

@@brianhammond2560 I ordered mine at summit raceway. 1st time buyer got $25off , the work its self was tedious, since I had to work every day it took me 7 days to finish, Removing the busted bolts in the head was hard. That took 1 day to do. I had other responsibilities to do as well. Lots of head bumps on sharp edges, and a few knuckle busters and it was done, My next upgrade will be the flo master muffler.

Jacob I just bought a set for my 2014 and are being shipped now. Are yours welded all the way around the flange or just spot welded? And is your exhaust tight and solid on the hangers going towards the back? The reviews are good for these but I also see some reports of cracking. I really don’t want to have problems after doing the install. Thanks.
Great job, sounds bad... I'll be doing mine this wknd same headers
Having easy access to that oil dipstick tube bolt means that’s a 2wd. 4*4 is a lot more of a pain in the ass.

Hello. I am wanting to install the same headers on my Ram. Some people on forums are saying those are not good headers and they have problems. I was reading the answers u gave on the comments here and you seem to have non-issue other than the loose bolt which u fixed with thread fastener. As of the end of 2020, are you still happy with the headers? They cost around 350 bucks and I don't want to spend so much for the other brands, around 800 bucks. Thanks for that video by the way.
