Jason,
You need to call Joe @ JBA to find out! From what I know they are for all
97-99 Dakota V8s. The JBA pipes are mandrel bent but I think they are
2"diameter, so low end loss and clearance should not be a concern....High
end power??? To not answer your question but instead ramble on, The R/T
headpipes (stock) appear to be identical to the 5.2 headpipes with the
difference being the 5.2 pipes are joined (in a nasty fashion) before the
cat. being an R/T owner I was disappointed to see that...I was hoping dodge
put a bigger diameter pipe in the R/T. They are identical down to the
crimps and bends...

Are those just for the R/T or any model Dak? With the increased diamater of
the pipe will the skid plate protecting the transfer case still fit on?
