Where to begin? LongTubes are best performance-wise and only slightly more exensive than shorties. Shorties arent really worth it in my opinion. However, if you have strict emissions laws (which i dont think MO has, unless you're in St. Louis County, Longtubes wont work because you have to remove or relocate the cat.

BEST headers? Dynatech. But if you cant foot the $1200 pricetag, Pacesetter is second best and they're pretty inexpensive. $515 for ceramic coated (inside and out) or $659 with ceramic y-pipe also. Install was easy...took the whole day though. Heres the DIY I did https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...aders-diy.html.

Keep in mind if you use a y-pipe, you're gonna have to remove the cats. The check engine light is removed using spark plug non-foulers (about $10 for both of them). Heres the DIY for that https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...ving-cats.html.

Make sure to get the Mopar gasket, because the one Pacesetter sends is garbage.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to PM me. I just did this not long ago on my 03 Hemi.
