Thumbs up Closeout on headers!!

Doug Thorley headers are on clearance for $220 for the 2005-2007 4.7 Dakotas.
If you're thinking about it, now's the time.

I wouldn't be quite that quick to jump on them if the truck your buying them for is 4x4 .... a lot of stuff to get in the way from what others have posted who have installed them before

$220 for ceramic coated? I just had to do it! I currently have a Flowmaster single exhaust but I've not done anything with the Y-pipe yet. I realize the cat's are welded to the stock Y-pipe so it may be more practical to just replace the merge section, as I've seen done here. (?)

Just got mine yesterday (24th) but won't have time to put them on for about 2 weeks. They do look nice!

I'm probably getting these... I'm definitely doing something with my truck in the coming a year or two, either boosting or swapping to hemi. If these sit in a box til I do, or I swap motors and sell them I probably wont lose money at this price..

haha hope u aint got no broken head bolts, took me 3 hours to do mine and i work at the dealership!, had to drill a -- on each of the flush mount broken studs so i could use a screw driver to turn them out, make sure u soak EVERY BOLT in either WD40 or a GOOD penetrating fluid or you might as well buy heads why your at it HA! just my 2 cents
