Wow-American Racing Headers

Well today, my mod plan changed significantly. I went by my dealer and there were twin 2013 Super Cabs out in front. Husband and wife bought twin Raptors early this year. I stopped and talked with them both for a while, told them mine was being built this Tuesday.

While we were talking, I noticed they both had the Borla 140383 installed. I was impressed as this system has been waiting in my garage for the truck to arrive, BUT they told me I had to hear it. Man, they had it hooked up to American Racing Headers (RPTR 78 WC), sounded unreal.

Along with a K&N Cold Air (77-2579 KTK), the thing sounded unreal. I immediately came home and ordered the K&N, but I am in search of where to get my hands on the American Racing Headers.

Anyone have and leads on who markets the things? I know I can order directly from the company, but there has to be someone out there? I will be talking about how good that truck sounded for weeks!

Haven't heard much about those headers, mostly Stainless Works and Kouks, have you considered either of those?

Quality of American Racing HeAders is second to none. Real big in the Mustang/Camaro scene - had them on my GT500 and they were phenomenal. Most people just buy directly from them - the guys are great over the phone.

Honestly, headers were not even on my radar until today. I never thought I would even consider headers, but man, I am telling you, along with the exhaust, it sounded evil! I have heard of both brands you mention, but never have heard them. I guess I wouldn't have anything to compare what I heard today to, so I am keeping the memory fresh!

Check with chris at freedom motorsports. He can get just about anything. If he can't try Dave(khcdave) at Krazy house customs

Great to know. I will be on the horn with them Monday morning. I have a GT500 with the factory headers, but feeding into a Borla ATAK system and that sounds crazy. I can only imagine what these would sound like on that. I am really looking forward to getting them though, thanks again for the input!

Any one know prices of American Racing Headers?

Had the 1 3/4 with cats on my 08 g8 gt.. quality was amazing..these headers are almost works of art with how good they are.. well worth the money.

headers really wake these trucks up and make em scream. i love my stainless works

I've seen them on eBay, maybe check amazon as well
