I've never bought headers for a truck before, and this is my first ram. I've been looking for a set, and every brand says their's is the best, so, I'm a little unsure what to get. I have cat-back flowmasters, a K&N intake, and will probably get a programmer whenever I decide on a set of headers. So, my question to the forum is, what type and brand of headers would be the best bang for my buck?

 

Pacesetter Long tubes. You'll need a matching y-pipe to go with.
Prob run you $500total shipped
Moes Performance will be $460 I believe, just beaware it might take a few weeks to get.

 

Yeah, Ive got ceramic Pacesetters on mine and they fit good, look good and flow well.

 

Pacesetters for me too. I've seen dyno numbers on most of the headers out there. The Dynatechs put up the best numbers, but the Pacesetters are not far behind for 1/3 the cost...

 

I looked at the Long-tube w/y-pipe Pacesetters on Moes Performance and I thank-you for the recommendations. I guess my next questions are: #1 Will these headers interfere with emissions (I live in PA)? and #2 Is the JET-HOT coating provided on the headers any good? Or should I go with the ceramic-coated Pacesetters.

 

ANY long tube headers is a fail in emission testing state. In some states you can get away with them as long as you retain the cats (which require them to be moved back a bit (technically a fail, but some states don't care if you don't have a CEL). That would mean the "Y-pipe" is a definite no-go.
Jet Hot is a type of ceramic coat and according to most accounts, is a VERY GOOD coating. I bought plain stainless and had a local shop do the ceramic coating.

 

whats wrong wih my dynatechs i love how they changed the sound of my fm and the power.

 

I suggest you re-read that quote...

 

well guys not trying to thread jack but im currently asking the same question on 3rd gen .Whats better performance y pipe or x pipe cause if i can get some gains on x ill buy another magnaflow si/do and put in front of my driverside tire also and i think with a nice set of nerf bars it would look killer..sould sound pretty nasty also

 

i read it before i quote replied i just guess i am the only one dumb enough or willing to spend 1500 on an exhaust
