If I had to choose I would go with the Gibson. I have a 93 2wd and the Summit headers wouldn't fit.I hear the JBA's are good and I think you get the wye pipe with them also. Not sure though. Goodluck.

i used my stock one. the headers were a direct replacement for my stock manifolds. buy stainless header bolts 6point or allen head u will never get a boxed end wrench on a 12 point bolt (the headers come w/ 8 u need 12) and good header gaskets not those crappy paper ones. that will save u alot of headaches

the sound quality kinda sucks, but you can kinda hear what they sound like with the headers and stock y pipe, and the rest of the exhaust, well, its listed already :)

im not sure, i dont even remember what i did, i think i used the ones that came with the headers, it was a pain in the a$$ doing it with tthe engine out of the truck, cant imagine doing it while its still in the engine bay

yes i would use the ones that come with the kit but i was told only 8 bolts come with the kit and i needed 12.

my question the other day was what size bolts do i need to replace the center 2 studs.(old ones look about ready to shear off if i try and unbolt the manifolds)

should i just order an arp set for a small block chrysler? or do i need a different set for the "magnum" engines
