Gibson Headers
RedRockJK....that might have been a possibility until recently. My brother-in-law lived there on the lake until just a couple of months ago when he changed jobs and moved to Florida. Doubt I make it back to that part of the country now. The headers have went from a nice chrome to a blue/rainbow color.

Well I got a great deal on a set of stainless Gibson's with the modified heat shield. However, I have never installed headers before, and directions don't look too helpful. I was wondering if anyone could help with some better instructions
.
I bought my used 2007 2dr Rubi with Gibson headers, CIA and a Magnaflow muffler already on the Jeep. I've burned through two #4 plugs and one #6 because of the heat from the headers... There was heat wrap on the wires but I wrapped the headers after the second #4 burnout... I doubled up the wire heat wraps after the #6 failure... Just to make sure I didn't have any other problems out in the middle of nowhere I replaced the all the wires with MSD wires... There was a pretty big insulation difference between the OEM wires and the MSD's!
Not sure when the previous owner installed my headers but I bought it 14K and started blowing the wires at 17K. Now at 23K the headers are flaking / delaminating. I'm assuming its the chrome layer...
Oh and the Jeep dealer will not warranty the blown wires due to the extra heat off the headers.
I carry a backup wire now!
Not sure if there is enough of a performance boost to justify these... Haven't driven a 2dr without the upgrades... I was getting 17 & 20 (highway) mpg with the stock Rubicon wheels but only get 16 & 19 with the 305 70r MTR's now.
Hope this helps
