My 2020 Ram developed the notorious “Hemi tick”, so I decided to replace the frequently warped exhaust manifolds with headers, which were actually less money. I was very happy to find zero broken bolts, which are typically the issue. I did find one manifold badly cracked, with the other side showing some hairline cracking. Gotta say it doesn’t feel any different, but it’s nice to get rid of the tick!
Also would add that BBK headers suck, first one showed up with a red LEAK tag and sharpie on the header showing a leak. Second set had an area where the perimeter of the tube hadn’t been welded to the collector and you could see daylight. Because I already had the truck torn apart I took it to the local Midas and they welded it for me.
