+1 on the JBA shorties. I have a set on my truck that I picked up here locally off craigslist. They fit great and perform well. Before that, I had a set of Pacesetter shorties and they didn't fit well into the stock exhaust pipes - I had to bolt one side on to the downpipe, then use a hydraulic spreader to position the other downpipe pipe into place properly.
My Pacesetters fit great. I don't remember having any problems with them. I'm just glad we have so much room to work on them. Not like on the Magnum. Those took forever!

My Pacesetter shorties bolted to the heads without any issue, but connecting them to the stock pipes on each side was a real challenge. No issue whatsoever with the JBA shorties.

Alright so I got pretty lucky I guess. Bought a 97 ram sst for parts for $500. Guy found a set of Gibson shorty headers for it that have a small crack on 1 weld. Ill take these to work this week and tig the crack up and inspect the rest of the welds. Can't wait to get these installed!

You will like them. My first set but I didn't have access to have them fixed so I just replaced them with the Pacesetters. Funny is I found myself having to re-torque the other but the Pacesetters have not needed re-torqued for a long time! I gotta say if you get these on you should get a tune. I can't say enough about the tune and how it has woken up this truck it's crazy!

I plan on getting a tuner eventually. First want to do the headers then step up to 35" tires and re gear to 4.56. Then after that ill tune it. Problem is I wish I could tune 2 vehicles off 1 tuner since I will need to tune my rat rod with the 97 5.9 also.

You may be able to tune more than one rig with the tuner. Send Shawn a message and ask.
