A couple weeks ago I ordered afe shorty headers. Went to install them and found both Exhaust Manifolds cracked right in the middle. Truck has 40k miles on it. Installed the afe headers. What a $hit show. Just pulled them off and returned them to Summit. Endless exhaust leaks. Once removed found one header flange warped.

I'm now waiting on a set of Kooks long tubes. Truck is non drive able till I get the parts. Kooks are spendy.... It was such a pain to install the afe's that I'm willing to spend the $ so it's right and I don't have to do it again.

Please be sure to update when the Kooks arrive.
This is the one brand of headers I'd be interested in putting on my truck.
