Dude, I'm watching this video 3 years from when it was uploaded. I appreciate the effort you put in for cool edits and overlays for the video. I'm currently fixing the exhaust manifold bolts that sheared off in my block, and was going through videos for some type of guidance. This helped, I'm still going to use stock everything, but atleast I now know there is an alternative that might prevent future problems. Subscribed.
My 2019 Ram cracked both manifolds almost in half after a high speed cross country run. I replaced them with stainless steel JBA shortys and now have approximately 8000 miles of trouble free driving. Don’t listen to BS about shortys being a waste of money. I got noticeable performance gains across the RPM range. Sure long tubes would have got more but I didn’t require a tune so I’m very pleased with the results.
I was thinking about doing shortys on my truck but I’ve heard mixed things about them. I live in southern Ontario where the roads get salted to oblivion in the winter. I’ve heard that the shorties will crack over time so I went with the BD diesel manifolds instead.
Hey Monroe, I can see how that would work well for a Harley but for the twisted tubes of a shorty header you definitely need to use the clamps I did. I appreciate your support brother!
I personally think the BD Diesel kit is the best, they use better quality bolts, they use spacers to help dissipate heat, and the mount the heat shield and separate bolts from the headers to dissipate heat, they also have thicker walled manifold, also the parts cost less than stock replacement parts
Hey Master Roaster, I would have gone with OEM if I was just going to repair it. parts.allmoparparts.com/v-2016-ram-1500--express--5-7l-v8-gas/5-7l-hemi-gas-engine--manifolds-and-vacuum-fittings Hope this helps brother! Thanks for watching and your support.
Great video. What are your thoughts on the Percy’s vibe lock header bolts. They still lock well and don’t have the PITA tear drop clips like the stage 8’s.
Hey Nathan, I've never used Percy's. Have you? If so how do you feel they held up? And thanks for the compliment brother. I spend countless hours making these videos.
Great video, I never thought about wrapping mine before your video. I installed the BBK headers and Grade 8 in the Spring of 2019, but I couldn't get half of the locking tabs 2 fit, due to the bolts' close proximity to the pipes. Can you post a video clip of them installed, so your viewers can have a better visual on how to align the tabs so they fit without cutting them?
Hey James, hope everything is well with you. I decided to wrap my headers because I've read and seen too many horror stories of melted wires and hoses. These things get crazy hot! Have you come across any problems in your engine compartment yet? So with the way these tubesare snaked around It is almost inevitable you're going to have to cut or grind to get all the tabs to fit. Unfortunately yesterday I just got some bad news about my headers. I was told the driver side was cracked right by the weld where they all meet together. I'm probably going to hoist this thing up today or tomorrow to double-check it for myself. So good news for you guys if it is indeed cracked because I'll have to replace it and of course I will do a video on that.
Hey Stuart, I haven't even had a chance to check yet. I got into a horrific accident on my electric skateboard and been down for about 2 months. But I'm ready to get back at it now. I'll definitely do a video on it.
Hey Tyson, if you have a seized up roller you can get it fixed for probably around 3 grand. I want a different route because I had 100,000 miles on my engine and I wanted it to last for a long while. I opted with putting a rebuilt Jasper engine inside of it. My truck was out of warranty so this was the route I took and here's my breakdown brother. 5.7 hemi Jasper engine $4,685 Engine install kit $380 MDS solenoids $366 Anti-freeze coolant $51 Oil filter, oil change $28 labor $1,050 Total $6,976 Hope this helps any future decisions brother. Thanks for watching and your support!
At what point does the tick normally start happening? I recently got a 2017 ram with only 15k miles on it. My last truck, 05 Silverado had this same issue, and I hoping to fix this before these bolts become a problem.
Hey brother, according to people in the RAM forum this has happened at all at various mileage. If I remember correctly even as early as 10,000 mi. I remember some people saying they've had it happen at 20 40 and 60,000 mi. For me personally it happened at 90,000 mi. This will be a great question to ask in the RAM forum and see what kind of response you get from everybody in there. www.ramforum.com/forums/general-discussions.38/ if you're not signed up, sign up ask the question in there and then tag me in it so I can see all the responses too.

Get a set of well "seasoned" (high mileage) manifolds and get them planed flat at a machine shop-reinstall with new hardware and high quality gaskets and voila! Problem solved and way cheaper and way easier than headers! The headers are a Beeatch to install and your trucks not going to magically turn into a race truck with the headers anyway!
Hey, The Truth, assuming it is just an exhaust leak what I was describing in this video, just replace the broken bolts. if you do not want to do it yourself it will probably only cost a couple hundred dollars at any shop. If it's under warranty then no worries. I appreciate you watching my video and thank you for support.
So I just got my 2014 Ram and Noticed it has the tick but after it runs for a few minutes it stops when it cools down and I start it back up it does it until it warms back up. got any Suggestions? Love your channel thanks
Thanks brother! Glad to have you aboard. So what you are describing sounds like a tall tale exhaust leak. First thing I would do is inspect your exhaust manifold and make sure none of the bolts have been shared off. It is super common for these HEMIs. To fix it you'll have to remove the exhaust manifold and then extract the bowl and put a new one in. It's a real inexpensive fix if you do it yourself. If you have a shop dude it'll probably be a few hundred bucks. Thanks for watching the channel and I appreciate your support.
Only after I had my engine replaced. I found out the shop used the same gaskets I had put on when I did the install. Not happy about that. Anyway, I have an exhaust leak again and need to dig into it and see if the gasket is the problem or something else. Thanks for watching man.
Hey Raul, they're definitely leaking now. I looked at the stage 8 bolts and it seemed to be intact. So my best guess is the flange is warped or I got a crack in it. Pretty soon here I'm going to dig into it and see. I'll make a video about it. Thanks for watching brother!
Hey Kero96, I have had a problem since they install but I cannot tell you definitely what actually went wrong yet. I am going to dig into it pretty soon to find out what is causing my new exhaust leak. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching and your support!

For the header wrap, I used small hose clamps to hold it in place on my Harley. Been a couple years and still holding fine.
Hey Monroe, I can see how that would work well for a Harley but for the twisted tubes of a shorty header you definitely need to use the clamps I did.

How many rolls of wrap did you use ?. BD just brought out some headers that many are having great success with im going thay route about 515$ or so .
I was told the shorty headers won't last, weren't made for an everyday driver.Plane the manifold and add new bolts.Thoughts?
The answer to my problems my 2008 dodge 1500 Laramie has started to do this was gonna get a new manifold and a new dual exhaust
That's the ticket. Glad I can help man!
Do you have a link to some good bolts just to replace it on a stock manifold? I don’t have any after market headers just stock

Why did you go with Stage 8 over ARP?
To be honest with you, I didn't do any research on ARP.
Would you recommend it over sage 8? And if so why?
Will this cause a Loss in Power??
Yes, and sometimes engine codes, not just power loss but MPG loss
Any cel since switching to shorties?
Only after I had my engine replaced. I found out the shop used the same gaskets I had put on when I did the install. Not happy about that.
Anyway, I have an exhaust leak again and need to dig into it and see if the gasket is the problem or something else.
