So, should be under 200 bucks for me.
You aren't kidding.

Can you explain to me the manifold price difference? Drivers side is $90 passenger is $190. I have no idea why.

No idea. Maybe there aren't any O2 bungs in the drivers side, or maybe EGR provisions, maybe even a typo.... Generally headers are sold as a set though......

Nope. OEM manifolds. No O2, no EGR. They look really close to mirror images. Makes no sense but then again it is Dodge.

Yeah, that does seem really odd...... Might call the parts department, and ask for a price check, and see if their list price is also strange, and ask THEM why. Of course, you'll probably get something to the effect of "I don't have a clue".....

Ok, So for some reason I'm having all kinds of issues getting the hardware for the manifolds from dodge. I am under the impression that each manifold has 4 normal bolts and 4 studs. There are 2 different studs. One has a large spacer and the other does not. I have seen the dorman replacement bolts and they only have one type of stud. The parts department I talked to is all over the place. I'm going to have to call someone else. So the question is are there 2 different types of studs for the manifold or just one?

Part numbers I have are

Genuine Alfa Romeo Nut-Hex Flange Lock 6505316AA 8ea $23.68 - Heat shield nuts
Intake Manifold Stud 6509136AA 8ea $26.00 - This is one of their mistakes I think. These are supposed to be the 8 regular bolts I believe. Should be P/N 6504340
Manifold Stud 6505257AA 4ea $11.84
Manifold Stud 6504331 4ea $14.16
Converter & Pipe Bolt 6035375 4ea $10.68
Heat Shield, RIGHT 53030814AH 1ea $26.74
Heat Shield, LEFT 53031706AG 1ea $25.75
Exhaust Manifold, RIGHT 53030808 1ea $189.08
Exhaust Manifold, LEFT 53030809AD 1ea $98.60
