Default Rusty's offroad headers

Hi there,

Anyone have any experience with Rustys headers? Sometimes people complain about aftermarket headers melting spark plug wires and such. Today only Rustys is offering their headers shipped for $180. Worth it?

The JK's do put off a lot of under hood heat and I would suggest insulated boots for the plugs, installation is about 8
hours in the driveway, not real hard just a lot of parts to remove and replace, no harder
than a stock manifold.

My buddy is a jeep tech for the local dealer. He said he will do it for $70 at his house. Takes 2 hrs

Sorry, can't swing the $40 shipping charge to me. If it were $180 shipped I'd be all over it. Asked about a deal on shipping for being a forum member they said nope. Thanks for trying tho!

Just ordered a set, replaced stock manifolds with stock and they''re cracked again. Hope this fixes it. I'm in Louisiana. Shipping was $32.09
IMO this is the best deal on replacements and an upgrade over the stock crap you'll find anywhere. I'm tired of mine sounding like a sick diesel when I first crank it up.
