Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your 1996-2003 Dodge Dakota R/T's 5.9L engine, especially in the low and mid-range RPMs where you do most of your driving, a set of Gibson Performance Headers can make a notable difference. These headers are designed to replace your factory exhaust manifolds, helping your engine breathe more freely. This improved airflow can lead to cooler engine temperatures and more usable horsepower and torque, making your truck feel more responsive on the highway.

Gibson builds these headers from tough 16-gauge, 409L stainless steel tubing, which is known for its durability. The port flanges are a solid 3/8 inch thick and laser-cut to ensure they sit perfectly flat, preventing any warping or leaks at the connection points. They're also treated with a high-temperature ceramic coating that can handle up to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit, adding an extra layer of protection and helping to keep underhood temperatures down. Everything you need for installation, including premium gaskets and hardware, is included, and they connect using OEM-style fittings, so no welding is required. They're designed as a direct replacement, fitting well on both lowered and raised vehicles for street or off-road use.

These headers are 50-state street legal and meet EPA and CARB requirements, so you can install them with confidence. They are also designed not to affect your factory warranty. Gibson backs these headers with a lifetime limited warranty, giving you peace of mind with your investment.
