    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    I don't believe so. I know you can't have an air locker in conjunction because they are different carriers. I don't have any knowledge of the OEM E-locker or a Harrop.

    The 03-06 Wrangler Rubicon D44 rear came with a selectable pneumatic locker that was a torsion LSD (TrueTrac) when unlocked. It is the only one I am aware of. There is no Toyota direct bolt in TrueTrac/locker hybrid.

    The truetrac uses helical gears so theyre like an LSD on steroids and they dont have clutch packs that wear out. Id say they are a step above the OEM toyota LSD offered from 05-08 for that reason alone

    Definitely. Most OEM LSD are not very aggressive, and the clutch pack based systems wear out, meaning reduced performance over time. Torsen has a couple decent pages explaining how helical LSD systems work (here and here), which are better than Eatons site information (makers of TrueTrac).

    I have an interesting situation here. I am replacing my JBA LT headers with the Spec-U equal length. I will be able to report on the difference between JBA and Spec-U - while having Kelford cams. I felt an enormous difference when I switched from stock to the JBA headers years ago. I'm certainly not expecting a big change going from them to the Spec-U.

    I will also have the JBA LTs for sale after the Spec-U are in. Sorry but I already sold my O2 sim... but I will make you good deal on the headers.

    I was considering doing the same. More than anything at least these headers have the primaries welded on the outside of the flange unlike all the others.

    i think @Athlaos will notice a difference with equal length headers at his current boost set up. how much? i think noticable. maybe 12rw?

    Who’s closer to AZ for shipping their old LT headers?

    I ask this pretending I have money to spend of course. And like front axles and building full skids is not ahead of power adders.

    I switched from the Doug Thorley long tubes a couple years back and I definitely noticed a difference. Not as much in actual power, but in how smooth the power was. Also the peak was much higher in the rpm range on the URD's. I thought the DTLT has a little more bottom end but nearly as much up top. Now I want a Roost and then have it all.
