You are correct. I have these on my '95 SLT (my brother's now).

Excellent headers. Make sure that if you get them coated that
they will retain their lifetime warranty. I was told that
they would not, so I didn't get them coated. They look 'okay'
now 4 years later (115k miles too).

Subject: DML: Doug Thorley headers for '91-'96 daks (V8)

If anyone is interested I wanted to confirm who replied about the Doug
Thorley headers being the Mopar Perfomce headers for the pre '97's you
are correct. I called Doug's headers (Doug's new company) and they do
have an application for the '91-'96 V8's for around $370 including
y-pipe. For another $150-200 bucks (guy wasn't sure exactly) you can get
them ceramic coated. Most of you probably already know this info but I
thought I would pass it along. Doug's old company "Thorley Headers" is
actually the company that made them for Mopar Performance but at the
time there was no difference. The newer company's headers are exactly
the same. They also made trhe cat-back eshaust during this time. I
contacted the old company for a price and they have not emailed me back
yet. I'll try to call tomorrow since I didn't have time today. I did ask
the new company if they made V6 headers for you guys and they said they
had no plans but to try JBA. When I call the old company i'll ask there
for ya. BTW, these are the only good quailty headers I can find for a
'96. The only other companies that have them are Edelbrock and Summit
and I havn't heard exactly rave reviews about either one.
