For the header wrap, I used small hose clamps to hold it in place on my Harley. Been a couple years and still holding fine.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Monroe, I can see how that would work well for a Harley but for the twisted tubes of a shorty header you definitely need to use the clamps I did. I appreciate your support brother!

Get a set of well "seasoned" (high mileage) manifolds and get them planed flat at a machine shop-reinstall with new hardware and high quality gaskets and voila! Problem solved and way cheaper and way easier than headers! The headers are a Beeatch to install and your trucks not going to magically turn into a race truck with the headers anyway!

[@jamesblount5955]

Great video, I never thought about wrapping mine before your video. I installed the BBK headers and Grade 8 in the Spring of 2019, but I couldn't get half of the locking tabs 2 fit, due to the bolts' close proximity to the pipes. Can you post a video clip of them installed, so your viewers can have a better visual on how to align the tabs so they fit without cutting them?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey James, hope everything is well with you. I decided to wrap my headers because I've read and seen too many horror stories of melted wires and hoses. These things get crazy hot! Have you come across any problems in your engine compartment yet? So with the way these tubesare snaked around It is almost inevitable you're going to have to cut or grind to get all the tabs to fit. Unfortunately yesterday I just got some bad news about my headers. I was told the driver side was cracked right by the weld where they all meet together. I'm probably going to hoist this thing up today or tomorrow to double-check it for myself. So good news for you guys if it is indeed cracked because I'll have to replace it and of course I will do a video on that.

[@stuartstuart866]

Any updates? Is the header cracked?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Stuart, I haven't even had a chance to check yet. I got into a horrific accident on my electric skateboard and been down for about 2 months. But I'm ready to get back at it now. I'll definitely do a video on it.

Great video. What are your thoughts on the Percy’s vibe lock header bolts. They still lock well and don’t have the PITA tear drop clips like the stage 8’s.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Nathan, I've never used Percy's. Have you? If so how do you feel they held up? And thanks for the compliment brother. I spend countless hours making these videos.

Yes

Do you have a link to some good bolts just to replace it on a stock manifold? I don’t have any after market headers just stock

So did you fix it? Im having the same problem with my 6.1

[@teagle148]

What did it cost you for the labor and engine I got my dream truck and the thing is tapping I fixed the bolts and still tapping

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Tyson, if you have a seized up roller you can get it fixed for probably around 3 grand. I want a different route because I had 100,000 miles on my engine and I wanted it to last for a long while. I opted with putting a rebuilt Jasper engine inside of it. My truck was out of warranty so this was the route I took and here's my breakdown brother. 5.7 hemi Jasper engine $4,685 Engine install kit $380 MDS solenoids $366 Anti-freeze coolant $51 Oil filter, oil change $28 labor $1,050 Total $6,976 Hope this helps any future decisions brother. Thanks for watching and your support!

[@godevils1982]

At what point does the tick normally start happening? I recently got a 2017 ram with only 15k miles on it. My last truck, 05 Silverado had this same issue, and I hoping to fix this before these bolts become a problem.

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey brother, according to people in the RAM forum this has happened at all at various mileage. If I remember correctly even as early as 10,000 mi. I remember some people saying they've had it happen at 20 40 and 60,000 mi. For me personally it happened at 90,000 mi. This will be a great question to ask in the RAM forum and see what kind of response you get from everybody in there. www.ramforum.com/forums/general-discussions.38/ if you're not signed up, sign up ask the question in there and then tag me in it so I can see all the responses too.

[@TheTruth-of3lc]

I have a 17 and it only has 30k miles and it already ticks any suggestions? I want to stay stock

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey, The Truth, assuming it is just an exhaust leak what I was describing in this video, just replace the broken bolts. if you do not want to do it yourself it will probably only cost a couple hundred dollars at any shop. If it's under warranty then no worries. I appreciate you watching my video and thank you for support.

[@roddwaynepasstime911]

So I just got my 2014 Ram and Noticed it has the tick but after it runs for a few minutes it stops when it cools down and I start it back up it does it until it warms back up. got any Suggestions? Love your channel thanks

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Thanks brother! Glad to have you aboard. So what you are describing sounds like a tall tale exhaust leak. First thing I would do is inspect your exhaust manifold and make sure none of the bolts have been shared off. It is super common for these HEMIs. To fix it you'll have to remove the exhaust manifold and then extract the bowl and put a new one in. It's a real inexpensive fix if you do it yourself. If you have a shop dude it'll probably be a few hundred bucks. Thanks for watching the channel and I appreciate your support.

[@imprtkllrz28]

Why did you go with Stage 8 over ARP?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

To be honest with you, I didn't do any research on ARP. Would you recommend it over sage 8? And if so why?

[@illyrian4life]

Any cel since switching to shorties?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Only after I had my engine replaced. I found out the shop used the same gaskets I had put on when I did the install. Not happy about that. Anyway, I have an exhaust leak again and need to dig into it and see if the gasket is the problem or something else. Thanks for watching man.

[@raulnajera3112]

How are they doing ?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Raul, they're definitely leaking now. I looked at the stage 8 bolts and it seemed to be intact. So my best guess is the flange is warped or I got a crack in it. Pretty soon here I'm going to dig into it and see. I'll make a video about it. Thanks for watching brother!

[@raulnajera3112]

Thanks for the info ! My bolt just snapped and was thinking of getting these! Good luck !

Thanks for watching Raul. Hope everything works out good for you.

[@Xkeroxxyz]

Did any of the bolts break after the switch to the shorty headers and bolts?

[@bigdaddyshouse]

Hey Kero96, I have had a problem since they install but I cannot tell you definitely what actually went wrong yet. I am going to dig into it pretty soon to find out what is causing my new exhaust leak. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching and your support!
