what a waste of money. i dont think ive ever seen a single legit dyno sheet that showed any gain with shorty headers
Chrome bailing wire, awesome!
Putting lipstick on a pig.
<3 just my 2 cents here but i seen quite a few car mechanics videos on youtube.. but genuinely just for some reason ray seems just hit the right chord with me…idk why but he just does <3
also i would like to humble brag (in a extremely nice and fair kind of way) hopefully someday about getting a little shoutout in one of rays videos…you do you <3
Welp, this has cured me of thinking about headers on my Mustang… Major PITA, for a little bit of power, propensity to crack and burn through… Thanks for a great video, Ray
The best details. Excruciating for you.
those were the wrong headers for that truck …. did t need all the curvy action
Don't you have to reprogram the ECM to account for the change in back pressure?
I enjoyed the video until the end when I saw the piece of flimsy wire barely holding on to the ugly piece of heat resistant stuff wrapped around the header tube, not to mention the awful bolt as a spacer (use a smaller length bolt). Sorry Ray but not this time.
Why you don't use antiseize paste for exhaust bolts…?
I have bbk shorties on my 2016 ram. I find that I'm chasing exhaust leaks on it constantly. Putting in remflex header gaskets on my next go around. I'm hopeful that takes care of it.
Header installation afterwards run her HOT and while still running 1/4 turn each bolt…not too tight or you'll snap one..never worry about bolts loosen up after that .
And try not to burn yourself, welding gloves for a torch work wonders
"This is Boss" man your showing your age.
Your videos would fall flat if you didn't talk to your work and parts and yourself. How you keep your composer is amazing, if it were me the videos would have a warning xxx adult language, turn your sound off.
Wouldn't it be easier to use a shorter bolt?
I'd mark that bottom bolt on the collector. Take it off and cut off 1/4" and then re-install it! Not to mention shutting off the truck so it won't be so HOT while working on it! LOL
Priceless – Watching Ray, with 10-times the toolbox storage us mere mortals have, but no pair of duckbills or safetywire pliers (snappy has some), and spending more than 60 seconds twisting wire. If you need to justify the cost, it twists wire real shiny!
The person that owns this truck would have been better off asking to have OEM manifolds installed.
Dee bris… like a snippy snip snip
I would like to see you do this on a hemi car instead. Correction… I'd like to see the pain of you doing this on a charger/challenger/300. Correction again… I'd like the pain to be expressed via a video of headers being installed on a hemi car.
Putting headers on a stock exhaust?
I only see one problem on the passenger side. The flip back tube is still going to radiate heat on those cooling lines. Oops, sorry I spoke too soon. Lol Great video!
He called you Ray-cist.
I spent a couple of days last week working on a Ford and found myself using an open ended spanner to rotate an obscured bolt 30º at a time (rotating spanner between each 30º). I thought to myself, Ray must know a better way. Apparently not. 😉
I had less trouble installing TSP 1-3/4" long tubes on my '01 C5, crazy.
Those rubbers hoses not going to survive more than 2 years , if the owner not seal taped those rubbers , you should wrap the rubber hoses not the pipe header 😂😂😂
I really enjoy watching this channel, thanks Ray for all the challenges you capture and edit up so we can all follow along.
I quite often wonder if any of the owners of the vehicles you work on ever watch your videos? Personally I'd love to watch footage of a great technician working on my vehicle.
Keep up the excellent work and content Ray, its so appreciated by so many 🤩
So glad you took us along on the test drive.
Header suck go stock
My nephew put a set on his 2012 Camaro and had the same problem.
"more goodier" I love it…im a health teacher (at a private school) and I use this phrase all the time my students love it the English teacher hates it because the students are starting to say it now
that dont seem worth the aggravation
Dam good job Ray.👍👍
I’ve dealt with headers several times and I’m convinced the manufacturers never try to install them.
Trim the bolt….duh
I'm stunned…no, SHOCKED…that Ray doesn't have a set of safety-wire pliers! They would have come in handy for the exhaust wrapping and made really professional look to the finished product. And, I saw the bolt/collector interference comin' a mile away! Next time, just cut it to the right length, Yo. LMAO
I want you, Ray, to have a wonderful day……..
Just watching him put headers on makes me wonder why???? Anyone would wanna pay Big $$$$ for the headers and the Labor to,put them on a TRUCK??? I can see if it’s a Trophy Truck or some other pure competition type truck but a regular street pickup??? I don’t get it!!🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
„I never had much of a vocabulary. In fact, my friend Bob Schneider would still be alive today if I'd known the difference between "antidote" and "anecdote". He got bitten by a copperhead, and I'm telling him funny stories out of Reader's Digest. His head started to swell, I said "This ain't working."“
It's always the bottom ones that show leaks
Ya know, about those wrenches you are promoting… Looking at the great difficulty you, a highly trained professional, are having using them, I am not sure me, a mere mortal armchair YouTube professional, could ever hope to properly use one. Can you recommend something with an easier learning curve, possibly from the playschool collection?
Unless those gaskets are designed like what they call the Detroit gasket it will leak
I thought it was dee-briss.
This looks like no fun…
Although we're thinking of doing this with our 2017 Ram, since we've had it to the stealership three times within this last year for broken exhaust manifold studs. 😬
I'm sorry, why is one pipe on the headers looped exactly??
I recommend getting pair of Safety Wire Pliers. They lock onto the wire, then spin automatically when you pull on the back of them. Don't know how often you would need them doing automotive work, but you can get a serviceable pair for under thirty bucks. Cheers -Sean H
