Found a leak coming from the manifold on both sides. Darn, gues that just means time for Headers! Does anyone have and preferences? Wasn't lookn for anything expensive. What you think? I was checking these out. Must be Cali legal.

Not so very long ago, a member here got a fairly good quality set of stainless steel shorties for less than that..... they even fit good.

 

I have pace setter shorties black. But they only stayed black for about 45 sec. That's not why I bought them I digress , they fit tight but the FIT , there cheaper but not the cheapest , good flow good sound ... Get aluminium gaskets they worked best for me and after a few hundred miles the bolts stretch a bit just torque them down and your set.. It's been over 2k miles since I've had to tighten them... Well worth the money

 

i got the summit shorty headers, and they've never given me any problems. i believe they also make a set for EGR as well...i got mine a while ago though, back when they weren't $200, they were only like $140.

 

I bought a set of CHEAP Ebay shorty headers back in '01 for my 1998 Durango. The flange was very thick, and while the ram horn bends came close to the plug wires...I never have had even a single problem with them. Never leaked, and while the painted finish has long since rusted away, I still love the sound of these headers with a Magnaflow muffler and CAT back duals.

 

I would recommend the summit headers, never really heard anything bad about them!
