Default Headers and exhaust...?

I'm about to order a superchips flashpaq, and TRUE cat-back exhaust and some headers, I already got k&n intake, now... im looking to go with magnaflow exhaust or mbrp, but I cant decide on headers, I want it to be optimized with the SC flashpaq, what headers are best? and what happened to banks headers

Many people on this forum that are knowledgeable and mechanical will tell you from their experiences that adding headers to your jeep is not beneficial. Sometimes it causes melting of wires inside the engine cabin.

A sponsor of Project-JK and JK-Forum, Ripps, has a thread focusing on their headers paired with an diablo sports tuner and a full cat back and the HP gain was large.

Definitely check out the RIPP systems. I have thought about a full exhaust setup before and it is quite pricey, but i can not honestly say i think the JK has an exhaust that will last forever. Maybe none will, but the exhaust systems in these newer vehicles are just weak. From built in cats, to super tiny tubing, and crappy ass materials, it seems the manufacturers are just trying to hit MPG's to be relevant. I couldn't give two craps less
