Hey guys. I'm looking into purchasing a set of headers from one of the vendors listed above, and I'd just like to hear if they're is anything that sets one apart from the others.

My truck is a 2004 rcsb 2wd. It currently has a set of cheaper stainless headers that I installed not to long ago, but I've had nothing but fitment issues with. After replacing the motor and trans mount to hope to correct this, nothing has changed. So I figure my next step is to try a higher end set and see if that will cure the issues.

With that being said, any input on any of the brands is much appreciated. I'm leaning towards the stainless works as of now because they have a set just for 03-06 trucks, while the other two are listed for 99-06. Timmy knowledge there is nothing different between the years, but maybe they know something I don't. Anyway, thanks in advance guys.

 

stainless works has been working hard for the truck community lately. i go with them. i would stay away from ARH based on my personal experience...but i'm biased against them now LOL.

 

I'd spend a 1/3 of that price and get a set of stainless headers from Texas speed or speed engineering

 

Currently have speed engineering on it right now.

 

they don't offer the size I need. I have a set of TSP headers on the bench...also a good header.

 

My kooks fit like total ****. One of the primary tubes hits the steering shaft.

 

ARH's fit perfect on my 14. I did clean up the merge spike area and transition though but from what I have seen they all need a good cleaning. I just can't leave **** alone and untouched.

My ARH fit well. I have always been happy with them. I think the only thing that could be improved is having a longer primary. Unfortunately there is very little room for that with a 4x4 truck.

 

I have Stainless Works headers and ORY and everything fit perfect. They're only 1 3/4 by 2 1/2 but they fit great. Would love to go bigger but ARH's are waaayy pricey.

 

my stainless works fit great. i do wish that at the time i ordered them they hAD 1 7/8 AND A 3" COLLECTOR. I GOT STUCK WITH THE 1 3/4 AND 2 1/2 INCH COLLECTOR. I will be buying bigger tubes soon
