Dodge TB's are all made by Holley.

Can you take some pictures of the exhaust manifolds? Since you're going to
be changing your exhaust system already, and I'd assume that you'll be going
to 3"... you'll lose a little low-end (like I did) but gain some top end.
By changing out the manifolds for headers, you'll decrease backpressure yet
again and probably lose a little more low end grunt. If they're not too
bad, I'd probably leave them alone. If you can post some pictures, it would
help us all to better assess your situation. If you don't have webspace to
host the images, shoot them to me via email at josh@omg-stfu.com and I'll
put them up on my site for all to see.
