So what gaskets are recommended? I can remember well over 25 years ago my auto tech instructor doubling up his header gaskets to keep them from leaking since the base gasket could and will basically burn up. I don’t remember the brand but I want to say Fel-Pro. Anyone have any ideas about doubling up on gaskets?

Didn't want us to hear the leaks?? Just playing, but for real, you got the leak tightened up?

I've always been told it's not a good idea to wrap headers on a daily driven vehicle due to having many more heat cycles, and obviously driven in the rain way more than a non daily driven vehicle. Also one other thing. When disconnecting your steering wheel from the R&P or steering box. Make sure no one spins the wheel around while its disconnected or it'll ruin the clock spring.

Great Video..just installed my JBAs, had one broken stud passenger side at the rear. Unfortunately, had to drill it then use an easy out. Oh, had to scrounge up an angle drill. I was able to install without removing the dipstick tube. (4x4) could have or should have removed the starter, that would have made it a little easier. Started it up had a massive leak at collectors (tried to cut corners didnt use the copper sealant) well, unbolting after it cooled, used the copper, waited an hour, then torqued both sides. Tightened all manifold bolts again then started.. no leaks. Let sit overnight and started up this morning, again no leaks. Will tighten one more time then install lockers and fender liners. What a Job If you are going to install these headers on your Dodge, make sure you watch and follow the video...saves a lot of headaches.

That looked like a real pain. But soooo nice to have installed versus those clunky stock manifolds. Took a lot of patience and audio edits I'll bet. :-). Combining these with true dual pipes (see Rich's Performance Exhaust) and your cold air intake, would make everything breath so much better. I wondered if buying ceramic coated headers would provide some of the same heat containment you get from the wrap. I went that way with a set on my 06 Mustang. More expensive initially but maybe another option to avoid some of the wrap challenges. Really appreciate the videos. Just purchased a silver 2014 Big Horn (only 16K miles) so I am eating these up.

DONT get these JBA shorties. Go with the JBA 6962S or something that you can easily access the bolts. It has been a year since I did this and now my headers are leaking at the rear of the manifold. I WISH I saved the money spent on these and did it the proper way. If you are curious go watch this channel ( Reignited - Cycle and Automotive ) He is an actual Chrysler tech and knows what he is talking about. My experience was not bad installing. The problem is there is no space to tighten and torque the bolts, after running engine and letting cool you have to tighten again. (which is next too impossible). The headers WILL warp especially here in Canada and bolts need replaced every 100000km ish. It is always the back manifold bolt that snaps BIG design flaw of the Eagle Hemi. The power difference when adding long or mid length tubes is dramatically better than these weak shorties. It will also be easier to work on and well worth the money. Either go back to stock or upgrade to Long tube headers. Why do you think he never showed us the final result??? DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY DOING THIS.

On the exhaust manifold gaskets best to use cosmetic gaskets. However I ended up replacing a head and needed new gaskets. Ordering was 2 months out and I needed my truck immediately. I had some of those like you have . I cut the heat shield off with a Metabo disc . Any cutoff wheel would work though. My hands are so big there was no way I was going to be able to start those top bolts .😅

Did you ever do a video comparing the sound of the stock manifolds vs the JBA's? I was wondering how much louder it was and how the seat of the pants difference felt.

Thanks Aaron! These are actually stainless steel headers so there won't be any rusting issues! You could hit them with some paint but it usually can't take the heat. Duplicolor makes some new high temp header stuff you could give a try though!

To prevent bolts from snapping on removal, do you think it would help to start disassembling right after the engine has been running and is still warm - or heating up the bolts with a torch before breaking them loose?

Stainless 304 stops the warping bolts breaking

Dude I want to hear it!!

The best thing for the shorty headers or full length headers is to initially have them ceramic coated both inside and outside before installing on the vehicle. This is the best exhaust flow for increased performance. The header expands when it is heated due to high exhaust heat. The wrap doesn't allow for the proper metal expansion causing earlier corrosion and metal failure. This is something that isn't new. It has been proven over and over in many different engine / chassis configurations not just this Hemi Ram that is in this video
