Default Shortie headers that fit a HemiDak!

They exist!
I had been wanting to buy some off ebay for a while now to see if they fit,well lastnight I bolted them up to mt heads and lowered them down on the motor and they FIT!!!!!
Going to need to dimple on tube a little bit because it just barely touches the frame rail on the right side but they fit.

Ebay
Hemi truck headers
They pop right up,cheap,stainless,gaskets,bolts and quick shipping.

From above on the passenger side,you really can not see anything usefull but just below the hard curve in the pipe in the middle is a spot that just touches the frame,one dimple will fix it.

No picture of the drivers side but looking close it is touching the stud for the motor mount,slight dimple or grind that stud and all is good.

Nice thing is,if your using those tiny truck manifolds and switch to these your exhaust will bolt right up :-)

No,just the shorties in the picture with the instructions on how to find them on ebay.

I bought mine from this auction.

So what is the differance from having Hemi Headers to having headers made for our Dakota?

Price but the main thing is when you put a Hemi in a Dakota there are not many choices for exhaust,factory Hemi manifolds are very restrictive,personally I dont want log style so Gibson is out,that left custom untill I tried these.
