What are "Tuned" headers? JDM I imagine!!!

Edelbrock shorties from Summit Racing should do you fine. Lots of guys run them here.

tuned headers are headers that have equal length tubes that have been tested and "tuned" on a dyno to maximize performance. the edelbrocks might be good, but i'm looking for a long tube

Shorty's are direct replacement for stock manifolds, long tubes require a custom system.

Why would you need cut-out flares? To my knowledge, nobody makes them for our Dodges.

I wanted cut-out fender flares for a little bit of added tire clearance when I buy my new ones (35x12.5R17) because i'm only running a 3 inch lift. but i have also been unable to find anything so i was just curious if anybody else has had any luck finding them.

You dont need flares with a 3'' lift and 35s. They may rub a little, but some trimming here and there will elimnate the rubbing. Anyways cut-out style flafes would not be possible on our Rams because the fender liner is flush with the fender lip. Ford Super-Dutys and Chevy Silverados (The 2 trucks that Bushwacker makes cut-out flares for) have the inner fender recessed.
