EE Headers. Are they worth it? Quality?

[DiveDeep 07]

I am looking at the headers on the EE website. Are these any good? I don't see what the big hype is about headers?! What gains can be found? Are these that they have available a good brand? Quality? Thanks, DDST

The quality and durability is out standing from JBA...

But the gains on the ST are little. The stock manifold/headers are smooth flowing already and do not choke the engine much.... You will notice the truck louder and gain some top end power. But you may lose some bottom end...



If you supercharge, Nos or turbo I would recommend them....



On any other big v8 or other type of car/truck headers do increase performance and lower engine bay temps. They are a good upgrade, But with the st I would do them last...

The JBA headers are a good qaulity build. I have used them before.

But,IMO the exhaust manifold design on our Tracs is fairly fre flowing. Unless you supercharge or turbo you would only see a decent gain for the money at WOT top end.

Who drives like that, unless you drag race....
