Would headers off a 96 work for my 93 Dakota? Cuz I found a cheep pair but its from a 96 Wich I think is 2nd Gen?

 

I doubt it. The y-pipe (flange to manifold) are different sizes. you can't mix up 92-93 and 94 and up. That's what's keeping me from buying headers is when they list them it's usually 92 and up and I don't want to get the wrong ones. They're not the same.

92-93 Vs 94 & up







A.J.

 

96 is actually still 1st gen. Yes it will fit and work well kinda. The headers are listed 92-95 because those years have the EGR port on the exhaust. 96-up doesn't use EGR's so it doesn't need one.

So if you use it on your 93 you will have to add on your own EGR tube to connect. Or just delete the EGR and make a plate to block the passage.

Yes 92-93 exhaust is larger then the later years, the connectors use a taper down style seal, so the large and slightly smaller later year style will work. Shorty headers flow way more than the stock 92-93 exhaust manifolds.

 

OK so yes or no cuz the parts guide on here have headers for 373 for the v6 witch is extremely cheap but there for 96 - 02 I think and I want to be sure before I pay

 

IDK what brand but my 93 has headers that were installed by a PO.
the difference in 92/93 vs 94+ is the diameter of the Y pipe yes they will fit the engine and yes the pipes will line up BUT if there is a mismatch in diameter youll be screwed

 

Yes like I said it will not have the EGR port.

 

OK good cuz I really wanted them! So I can just install them like normal headers right

This style would work right?

 

mine have the EGR port built in; whoever the douche is that installed them cut teh EGR tube and glued it together with silicone; I just got a new EGR tube and had to heat it cherry red with my torch and tweak it a bit to line up properly with the port on the header

 

So I don't understand the EGR stuff
