Message: [QUOTE="Powerstroke Racer, post: 48552, member: 13"] Headers on a turbocharged diesel application work the same as on turbocharged gas engines, they help light the turbo and help evacuate the exhaust gasses from the cylinders,(we generally see a 500 RPM wider operating range) we have many sets out there on daily drivers with ZERO problems. ** there have been some reports of headers cracking at the welds and some even being warped AFTER they have been removed(some even melted and bent but that is not the headers fault), but when you interject the human factor in you have to accept that not everything is a 100% perfect, not headers, not injectors, not turbos, not expensive built engines not brand new trucks from the factory, not anything man made(well maybe an anvil) point is anything can fail but no one stays in business or keeps selling products if they don't work or last. In the world of high horsepower diesels, people have to accept some responsibility on themselves that there is no such thing as a perfect 100% bullet proof build. If you can't afford to be broke down or out of commission waiting on a repair or replacement part find another hobby or buy a spare backup. [/QUOTE]
