Default 2018 headers?
2018 headers

Any preferred brands? Do they dump out at the stock location? Generally do they require a tune?

I say go for stainless works. Probably the best reasonably priced ones out there that fit correctly.

Don't forget, 1 and 7/8 are best bet for the size you should run.

What is the difference in the Y pipe on the 2018 headers. I have a set of OBX headers that fit 2012-2017 but I don't know about 2018. I have had them for a 1 1/2 years and never installed them on my 2016. I know the cat back fits the same as a 2017.

I have the StainlessWorks Performance Connect long 1 7/8" tube headers that I had coated by Jet-Hot. Installation wasn't too bad if you have access to a two post lift. Without a lift I would definitely think twice. The low rhythmic sound of long tubes is awesome.

it might just be a kooks issue and not an issue with other brands
