Another reason why im glad i ended up selling my jbas and ended up just swapping stock bolts on the manifolds to some m8 bolts... no leaks and no bs. Hopefully JBA makes it right for all the guys having issues.
FYI if you were lucky enough to buy them through Amazon, they'll take them back during the warranty period (1 year for BBK) where BBK wouldn't do crap but "fix them", no refund no matter what. If thru Amazon call them and tell them they failed, they gave me full refund and told me to keep the headers and I was just under the 1 year "warranty".
I got Doug Thorley Tri-Y catless headers on my 16 ram. They're 1 3/4 longtube headers but they are catless. They were like $1,000 after shipping. They're 14 gauge, I believe jba are 16 gauge headers so they're a little thicker than the jba. What about ARH longtubes with hi-flow cats? They're only like $1,900!!! Haha
That sucks with the headers. If you could open the ports on the manifolds, would be great. You could see where they are smaller than the head ports. Yeah, love my tailgate assist. That was the first thing I did to my '17.
Just got some jba shorties put on..now when driving my truck and I get close to a wall I get the noise bounce off. I swear it dosent sound right..almost like a leak from around the headers area
Joe G yeah Joe, they’re most likely leaking. I always loved the tiny sound headers made, but leaks aren’t fun and not worth the constant swapping out. The manifold exhaust opening is actually bigger than the shorties anyway, they’re better
That’s good to know !!! I’m running the same headers on my truck and I believe it also has a leak could be the gaskets or what just happened to you and yes I agree ARH should make shorty headers and I’m sure they haven’t made them because of the executive order CARB😡. Great video bro keep them rolling in !!!!!!!!!!!
@@TunedRAMS that's were I've seen you I go to that gas station all the time with Pina landscape no sht I'll be going there for upgrades on my truck #ramcity son hellz yeah👍👊
Also great vids guys.. you guys talk to each other like me and my brothers I especially like the I’ll break your face , I thought we only talked like that but obviously not ,, fantastic footage
Paul Popp it would, if you get all the leaks, it’s tight around the runners at the flange, then you void warranty. I had them off so I threw the manifolds back on. The manifolds have a larger exhaust outlet than the shorties
David Talisman we were going to weld them and fix them but then the warranty gets all messed up and trying to sell them touched up would be tough, they’re Silver coated
@@TunedRAMS Do the ARH long tubes require a tune? I just bought an '03 2500 and it's got a bit of a manifold tick in the mornings. I wouldn't mind spending the money if it fixes the leaks permanently and adds some power/torque.. appreciate the videos

Its very small does it affect Performance of the vehicle?
The leaks? Nah not really, but also not good

BBK shorties are no better, mine cracked at the welds and collectors within 1,000 miles, total garbage coming out these companies theses days!

So if I end up leaving them on. Is there any real issues that could come from it besides the noise?
Joe G just the noise really, I mean eventually the leaks will get worse, but that would take years
Cool..and I did get them ceramic coated so that should help..appreciate the help, Have a good one!
Joe G you too man good luck!

Fuck bbk i would have never got these shitty headers i would have just change the manifold
Were is this shop I need to see this dude real talk

keith ZELESNIKAR haha thanks for watching bro!
Couldn't you just weld a bead on the outside where the header/flange meet.? That would reseal it.
Paul Popp it would, if you get all the leaks, it’s tight around the runners at the flange, then you void warranty. I had them off so I threw the manifolds back on. The manifolds have a larger exhaust outlet than the shorties
I would totally take those leaking shortys 💪
David Talisman we were going to weld them and fix them but then the warranty gets all messed up and trying to sell them touched up would be tough, they’re Silver coated
That’s the same thing I say about my goddamn ram.. I’m getting so tired of it
That's good stuff man🤘🔥
So what is the best brand to get for a 5.7? How are the gaskets that come with it?
Joe G the best headers imo are the ARH long tubes, always use oem 6.1 gaskets
And As far as short headers go?
Joe G I’ll never buy Shortys again, manifolds are better IMO. I’ve always had leaks. Long tubes are way better
Joe G JBA are the best for the 5.7, that’s if you can get a set that doesn’t leak

JBA quality sucks, I was very very disappointed in the quality of my long tubes on my Charger.
Rick Grimes apparently it’s hit or miss, and lately mostly misses!
Can u just weld it and just sand it back down smooth
🤣🤣🤣 he said big piece of crap!!
