Ok so my 2004 F250 that I just bought has the nutorious Exhaust Manifold leak on the passenger side. My Question is since I want to fix this are the headers offered for this truck worth the time and money to use instead of the stock manifold? And whose header works better quality wise etc?? Should I use Stainless Steel bolts in either case? Thanks in advance??
My manifolds went on my 08 @ 28k. If they were not covered I would have got the headers. I believe you can get ford headers (roush racing) for your truck, if not there are several others al will be better than oem.
When I did mine, I installed a set of JBA headers along with the SPD y-pipe. It was a noticeable seat-of-the-pants improvement in performance. Although, I can't say for sure what helped the most -- the headers or the y-pipe. My gut tells me the y-pipe.
Thanks for the post rjfetz1 I really apperciate it!! Great write up and pics on the JBA Headers 1975StroppeBaja!! It was very informative to say the least!! I guess time to look at headers!!
I'm going to do this once my manifolds go...most likely very shortley 82k and they look really bad lol. but can i change the bolts to a stainless steal or is that a bad idea?
