I just read that the stock headers on a Raptor are fine?

If the Stock headers are fine should I just get the Yoshi slip on instead of the full kit?

Unless you cam, stroke, or port and polish don't bother getting aftermarket header. The stockers breath just fine. The constriction comes from the muffler. I have a modified stock header that has the heat shields machined off and the pipes chromed. One of the smaller pipes is stainless and can only be polished, not chromed. Added the t4 with airbox lid cut and a white powerfilter and dynojet kit. Fast. Horsepower? just fast.

I've been wondering the same thing. I will do cams/piston/valves later, but for now, it's just piped/filter. Will a slip-on run with full systemed Raptors?

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] good news!
i have talked to several folks who should know and they say the same thing.
unless youre gonna do a bunch of head work, use the stock header pipe.
the dimensions are so close its not worth the bucks to change at that point.
so, spend those bucks on tires eer sumthin! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
