Yes I think the '92 had a 2.25 outlet and everything later is 1.875? Crazy small!
I have thought about trying to find '92s but guessing most would be rusted to hell or warped by now?

Meh, maybe not: takes probably a hundred years to warp 35 pounds of cast iron. Throw your catalytic convertor in the garbage and go true dual, if you have'nt already. Makes a noticible difference. Electric fan is another worthwhile upgrade.

Look at the Hooker 5803. For earlier Dakotas but should fit the later ones also.

Thanks,has anyone tried these on a 97-03? I dont want to be the "test pilot" You would think if they did fit, Hooker would advertise as such?

There's some sets of long tubes out there, but they're a pain to install. Mopar performance 'PPH' headers are a mid-length, tri-y design that will support 450+ RWHP. They can be found used for $400-ish.
Spintech makes a nicer mid-length for about 700 that will support a TON of power.
Both sets install easily from the top in about an hour

I put a set of Edelbrock TES headers on my 99 R/T. They are only slightly longer than a shorty set, but they came with a y pipe also. I put them on while I had the front clip off. I had to adapt and modify a few things because they weren't exactly made for the R/T. I had to cut and re-weld the y pipe, and also add extra o2 bungs because they didn't come with enough. I also had re-done my cat in 3" so it was a complete custom job. They are nice, and really had no fitment issues. Hope that helps...
