You didn't mention the fuel economy improvement. <G>
A note on the installation, It was easy. I have air conditioning and the
headers went in smoothly without a hitch! When you order your headers,
you will need to tell the parts guy/gal the year/4x4/auto or stick. each
combination has a different part number. I ordered mine in January '95
due to the Mopar Performance news. They arrived a couple days after the
arrival of the MP catalog. in the catalog it said that the part number is
for auto trans only. ARRGH! They sent them back and I kept the exhaust
system (which, they don't tell you in the catalog, can fit the V6 Dakota)
After about 4 months later (and my calling MP) I told my Dodge dealer
that the headers are now available for the 5 speed. The NV-3500 is wider
than the auto trans. Good luck, I almost enjoyed the installation. I
enjoyed the shakedown even more!
Cheers!
1994 Dakota 5.2l 5 speed
