That is very much understood, it is a premium product. With all others comparing their products to ours, figured i would re-clear the muddy waters of what sets our product apart. What makes ours the best engineered, best performing header for your jeep.

It is a lot But you you do get high flow cats with it also. I don't know of any other headers that come with them. So when you are talking about the difference take that into account.

In my opinion they are worth every penny. They made a very noticeable difference when I installed them. They fit perfectly. The workmanship is great.

I agree! highest quality, most likely. too much for the normal jeep modder, hell yes!!!. High flow cats are cheaper than stock cats (magnaflow for example) no true reason for that header setup to cost over 1K. Just think of how many mods you can do to a JK for $1600. more power in a jk is always a want but damn gears are cheaper and much smarter to gain power than headers.

Like i said Ripp may have the best but in no way do I see it as the best bang for the buck

What's the point in having gears and putting bigger tires is you don't have a little extra power to actually make the jeep still go..yes they are expensive and no I don't have them but I do have headers and exhaust and it deff helped to make my ride more enjoyable but that's just me. Although I do not have their headers, RIPP's SC will be going on my rig ASAP

no matter what the jk will be slow and underpowered, even with headers. gears put you back in a jeep that drives like it should even with the larger tires.

I beg to differ...a super charger would deff make your jeep feel less underpowered

dead on, less underpowered but still underpowered. a 15k hemi swap is the only fix.
