So I have the common exhaust manifold leak, but I'm debating if I should get headers instead? Are they worth the extra money? My guess is stainless steel ones will not crack the way the factory ones do and should last longer so that part is good but do they add much performance? I'm thinking about the JBA catforward headers
Flow Daddy Headers - Jeep '07-'11 3.8L V6 JK Wrangler
I would get high temp plugs as well.
Good luck!

+1 more on the Flow Daddy header quality? my driver manifold is cracked also and im thinking the same thing about doing header over the oem manifold. Flow daddy are so cheap im scared to pull the trigger on them over the JBA

I feel the exact same way, I know people that have gotten other things from rustys and were happy but I'd like to hear an unbiased opinion other than from the rustys tech-no offense. What can be done about the plug wires burning up?

I have heard the flow daddy headers run very hot and burn even high heat plug wires. This was a few years ago i heard this. I have used a lot of rustys stuff before and have never been let down hopefully they corrected the problem. Let's see if anyone chimes in with a update.
