Default Headers

Anyone running them? I'm looking into getting me a set of headers. Can you tell me if you noticed a loss or gain in power and fuel MPG?

http://www.jegs.com/i/Gibson/462/GP301S/10002/-1 i have ran them on all my dodges. get a set of shorties and they are a direct bolt up to your existing y pipe. do yourself a favor and get some locking bolts like mine in the attached pic, so you're not out there tightening your header bolts every week. they've always woken up the higher rpm's and low end torque. including they make the truck sound great. as far as MPG's go....possibly 1 mpg if your lucky

I think if I had the 5.2 I'd be real tempted by thse $100 SS ebay headers. I'd probably ditch the hardware and gaskets though and watch to make sure the header surfaces don't need some cleanup work.
