Default 2008 Ram 1500 Exhaust Manifolds

I have the common problem, again, of leaking exhaust manifolds. Wondering if there is a brand anyone has used that is coated. Hate to go OEM again. Also having a hard time finding a stainless hardware kit. You would think mopar would have upgraded there with all the issues.

Mopar doesn't care if it lasts longer than the warranty period.....

Get a decent set of stainless shorty headers, and some dead-soft copper, or aluminum gaskets. Hardware doesn't matter. That'll last longer than the rest of the truck...... (depending on the quality of the headers, I am on my second set of cheap chinesium headers.)
