Price | $473 |
Pros | Great sound and increased power for hills and smooth as glass at cruising speed. 1.3MPG increase ( I have 5.13 gears) |
Cons | installation |
Recommended | yes |
Comments: installed them in 06 rubicon. install is a pain but only for 1 bolt. extremely helpful to have a second set of hands around for the install.
Suggestion: go to Lowes/HD and buy a number of 14mm sockets(4). thread the bottom bolts on and place the sockets on the bolts with extenders then install the intake manifold. all you will have left to do is attach a ratchet and torque them down. saves a ton of time.
for off-road use these really dont make a difference
500-2200RPM: runs smoother, no power increase but you can feel the engine, seems to struggle less more relaxed(cant really describe it, just doesnt have to work as hard)
2200-3500RPM: power increase can be felt. cruising around at highway speeds there is more power there. with a proper tune im sure you can get more out of it.
3500RPM-?: dont know i have to reason to go any higher than that.
you can listen to whoever you want. every header thread has everybody saying its a waste of money. if you plan on doing a turbo/supercharger or stroker and dont plan on modding it after that these headers are over 10% of the cost of that so its upto you.
is it worth $480? yeah i would say so.
