The reason I purchsed them was the fact that they are an over the drag link design (shouldn't scrap), have 3/8 flanges, fit W/O dinging and are ceramic coated. In other words are of equal quality and have the same features to the more expensive TTI and Hooker Super Comps but quite a bit cheaper. I personaly spent the money for the ceramic. I just like the idea that the headers will look good for many years to come and won't deteriorate as quickly. Also the thermal barrier will keep engine compartmet temp down. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=5627430&an=0&page=3 Here is the best deal I was able to find on the Dougs. That price is shipped. Sam was super nice to deal with. http://www.centuryperformance.com/dou-d453-pr-DOU-D453.html

DOUG'S NOT doug thorley, very thick flanges,i didn't have to ding and didn;t scratch paint on install,though you will find you will want a mini starter (440source)starter will stay away from the heat of the headers=last longer headers came with special bolts and intruc.to have no leaks.you will not be disappointed,and about 400 cheaper then tti

I have some Hedmans for my Duster that I'm hoping will be the same way. My YouTube Channel, "Hoosier Garage" https://www.youtube.com/HoosierGarage

Never had any leaks and holding up good so far. Not sure on cost as my buddy gave them to me but I believe they run around $300. Ron Last edited by 383man; 01/03/10 05:18 PM.
