Default Headers for the 2-door Rubicon?
What company if any makes headers for my 2007 JK 2-door? I am trying to match up headers with a cat-back exhaust. Are headers necessary?

Gibson has a set of headers out and Quadratec carries them.

What has been the response of the Gibson headers? Are they better than stock?

I've heard mixed reviews about them. If you search you can probably find a review on them. One problem I remember reading is that the passenger side header started melting the battery tray because Gibson didn't provide a heat shield with them.

I called Banks last week and was told they did not have headers for the Rubicon.
