    Ok, so I know this subject has been beaten to death, but hopefully my question has a simple answer. I've gone through some prior posts and researched and I just am hoping for a straight answer here...

    Can anyone link me to a fender well header that will work with the stock Ross box?

    Thanks!

    Agreed - Headman will work fine with V6 and Ross Box. I had them on mine with Ross steering before I went back to manifolds.

    Hedmans fit with no problem but you do have to cut some sheet metal on driver side. You may want to have them ceramic coated. Also check out Rem-Flex gaskets.The gaskets Hedman includes won't last long jeep 017 (Small) (1).jpg

    As for me, a guy nearing 50 with plenty of gray hearing and 65% loss of hair.............I agree......I'm getting tired of the LOUD. Thinking about going back to factory manifolds. :(

    Coating mine to cut down on heat also. I did go with quieter mufflers.

    Nice. What Kind of mufflers or tail pipes do you have?

    Got video (audio) of these headers in operation? You could do a cold start like so many have done...:cool:

    I went with Magnaflow mufflers in stainless and ceramic coated turn-out. Fairly quiet considering no tailpipes . No fires from fuel cap leaks...yet.

    Ross steering works fine if it is in good condition and you are going fast. It is a PITA when it is worn or when you going slow.

    I agree, no offense intended to Ross aficionados, just being silly today.

    I shot some video but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. They won't post. Like any grown man I will ask my kids to help.
