Longtube Headers

[ViperPete]

Saw these on ebay.

Pretty good deal IMO.....

Maximizer Header Exhaust Fits 2004 2005 2006 RAM 1500 SRT 10 8 3L V10 Pickup | eBay

Primaries look a little small but for the money they have to be better than the stock boat anchor exhaust manifolds.

someone on FB claims 500 hp at the wheels from just these headers and a fine tuning of the SCT

Speaking of headers, can anyone tell me what brand are the Mopar headers that are now discontinued?

 

[Viperidae]

The maximizer's are made in China. Buyers Beware

 

[bmxam962]

They were mopar headers and can't be bought any longer

That much I know, but I read somewhere on the forum that these were made by either Borla or BB. Can't remember exactly.

no - because buying cheap ass china headers is stupid... wait for used belangers...

you're probably thinking of the "mopar exhaust" which was borla.
as i understand the mopar headers were their own proprietary design...

 

[6speedquadcab]

That's probably it. Thanks for clearing that up Dan.

That exhaust would make your 10 a rice burner.

How much hp do the belangers with a good tune add?
I ran some cheap ebay headers on a sports car I had and had issues getting them to fit right. So, cheap doesn't do it for me anymore. I did find a good used set of belangers for my truck though, just waiting for spring to install them.

For $ 800 that is a deal for longtube headers and mids

A lot of haters in here who have never tried them. If a weld looks shitty that's an easy thing to fix.

Not when you can buy used Belangers for that. A known good product.

I'm not hating - it just doesn't make sense why you would want to run a cheap ass set of China headers on our trucks.

If I could have bought used belangers for that, I would have.

These are brand new. Bends look good. Thick flanges, welds look good.

Id try them if I had to do it all over again.

The biggest problem I see out of the gate is they look to be 2.5" at the collector. I know other guys absolutely love the Mopar headers but I never had a desire for them for the same reason. I guess it all depends on how much HP you plan on making, but if you anticipate a big HP build in your future bottlenecking down to 2.5" at the collector isn't really that desirable.
