Default Exhaust Headers Leaking

OK i have a set of Flowtech Headers that rusted threw and are no leaking bad. Was wondering on what header i should get now these lasted about 10 years with me taking off sanding them and painting once a year but the rust finally got threw. So looking for something Stainless maybe i dont know just something not to expensive. Any ideas would be nice. motor Is 4.7L

I had a pair of cheap chinesium stainless headers on my Ram. The lasted 8 or 9 years without any care at all, up here in Michigan..... I replaced them with another cheap chinesium set of stainless shorties, and some dead soft aluminum gaskets. There are NO leaks. No need to re-torque either. Been on there for a bit over a year with zero issues. Think there were in the neighborhood of 260 or so, but, keep in mind, that's on a V-10.

Reviews on them are ok, but, those show out of stock. Looking at fitment though, may wanna check around, seems they are the same for dakota/durango/truck. Check Summit Racing, or Jegs.
