I'll try to keep this short, I've been made an offer by American Racing Headers to have long tubes installed on my 2005 2500 Hemi for free, if they can use my truck as a donor.
Problem is I can't travel to the US, and I know nothing of shipping my vehicle to the US and then back again.....so I'm not sure if I can or am willing to do this.

The other side of that deal is that if I can find someone with a 2005 2500 Hemi who's willing to go to Long Island NY for a couple of weeks, ARH will do the work on your truck and you get a header setup.

Why? I was told by the owner that they can't make any new sets for this truck as they ran into a fixturing issue and they need a donor truck to sort out the problem, as such, anyone who provides their truck as a donor will have the work done and headers installed for free, and I will get a discount on my own set when they can build them.

So if you have a 2005, 2500, 5.7L Hemi and are willing to take it to New York for a couple of weeks, ARH will do the work and you score a free set of long tube headers on your truck.

 

I suspect this is going to be a toughy.....
I've posted this up on craigslist, and multiple ram and Long Island groups on Facebook

 

I am interested. I have a 2006 2500 Megacab hemi if that matters. Send me information and we can take it from there.

 

You know what, I did not even ask or think about a megacab and whether it's different. but it's pretty simple, you can even go ahead and contact Nick at ARH yourself, just mention that you were told they needed a donor truck, but I honestly don't know if a megacab is different fro ma crew cab in a way that affects headers.

 

I will contact and find out.

EDIT: I just sent them an email!

 

Update for anyone interested! I dropped off my truck at ARH and Phil were amazing. He took his time to take me for a quick tour around the shop and people there have lots of passions around cars/trucks!

They are currently developing headers for 2500 series.

 

Everyone wins here
You get a sweet setup at no cost to you, and I'll get a set when they're ready.

I'll just be happy when I get some headers on my truck that everyone told me headers wouldn't go on

 

 

That's awesome.

 

What would have been good, is a dyno run with the stock manifolds - and one with their replacements. I went to their website, looks like they haven't updated it to include the 2500 series headers.
