question about long tube headers
I can not find anybody that makes long tube headers for 2008 Dodge ram 1500. Would the Hedman long tube headers from 03-07 dodge ram work on a 08 dodge ram?

Anything that says 07 i believe fits 08. I know you can get PS Longtubes on a 08, dirtydog has them. Almost every type of part listed on websites usually fit more things than what are specified. I have ordered a ton of different parts for my truck that my year and model weren't listed but they fit. Best thing to do is always email the manufacturer and ask.

I dont have pacestters but anything labeled for fitment on an 06 or 07 WILL fit an 08, but not everything for 05-prior will fit newer years such as Y-pipes.
The only diff from older to newer I believe is the piping diameter forgetting about resonators/cat differences. They increased it for the newer years, but for aftermarket, the headersshould be indentical.
I have JBA shorties that were listed for fitment on 06-07. Fit my 08 no prob. It's just that they prob haven't specifically test fitted an 08 to make 100% sure therefore wont list something they havent tried out????
I do know that the 2wd IS diff than 4wd, so make sure the right ones are chosen in regards to that.
