Not being negative, but these are the same as Procomp or 440 Source (see my sig)with powder coating and a sticker, and they're selling for 3x as much? Good ol' Mopar!

Yes sir, please do! I would be VERY interested in these if they will fit. Thank you very much


...my pleasure, heres a few more pics...hope they help. i get them to measure right at 3 inches deep(at the deepest) and 2.5 inches deep at the baffle.
and as far as them being made overseas..well i can't say for sure either way because there is no info on them anywhere.?? just nicely wrapped in a white box with no stamping of any sort, so i suppose they could be the same as pro-comp or source. but i can say that the bolt holes line up perfectly, compared to my el-cheapo set i'm using now that i paid $100 for, that i had to open every hole just to get them to line up.
also they are not just powdercoated with a MOPAR sticker on them...these covers have a textured finish and the MOPAR is actually the original surface of the cover...they masked it off before they coated them then then removed the masking...you can feel the difference.. goes from smooth to textured over the logo.
i posted these just to show that ma'MOPAR is at least trying to bring out something a little different and be more modern...and they still get bashed. ...if ya don't like them don't buy them makes no difference to me. i thought that they were cool so i bought them.

Thanks for the info Al.

Any comments on the breather ? Looks to be a "push" on style,,,as opposed to a screw on style ?


hi ya Doug..the breathers are push in style and they come with 2 diff grommets...1 for a breather and 1 that appears to be for a pcv.

It's too bad we (Mopar People) are so limited in valve covers for SB & BB Mopar engines. Just not enough offereings compared to other makes.

So where is a good place to buy these? I got my 2011 Mopar Performance catalog from the local dealership when I was getting my SRT8 Chally serviced. They wanted to charger me 7 bucks, but I reminded them I bought a 42G car, so I got it free. Lol. These valve covers are in there catalog. Just don't know how much the dealership would mark them up.

Good grief, relax. Its just an opinion, its also just a valve cover. Its also a discussion forum where opinions are discussed. Dont take it so personally.

Dont care if they are sold by Mopar or not....you can even tell by the hardware they are the SAME 'ole Chinese valvecovers that have been sold for awhile.

Very true it is a discussion forum. However you could politely voice your opinion with bashing the guys stuff instead of being plain rude about it.

Ok, I just didnt think the OP would get all worked up about it. If someone knocks something I BOUGHT (not created)then I see no reason to be offended. But thats just me.

...no where in any of my post did i say that theses were NOT made in china, i said that there were no markings on anything that i could confirm where they were made..i did mention that they seem to fit better than my $100 set i had..and that was my only comparision..ALL i was trying to do, is give people a chance to see some new MP products, and maybe give them a heads up on alot of people in getting a set, if they so desired. i highly doubt that i'll ever start another thread like this one or any other for that matter...the constant hating and piling on that goes on here is stupid and i'll have little to no part of it. look at my post history..i've tried to help numerous members with MP parts and OEM parts help..but not anymore not after this crap..i'll keep to myself and send pm's to the members here who i have helped in the past, or visa-versa.
