Headers, check..
magnaflow y pipe, check
mopar gaskets, check

now plans are, starting friday (on duty al weekend) Friday mornin, truck into garage, spray all hardware w/ wd-40, several times during the day, start the removal of exhaust sat afternoon, install sat night.


-my questions to the experts are, Any one know the torqe specs and pattern for the headers?
do i need to remove the entire exhaust from the truck to get the headers on or just take the flange bolts off?

and last, anti sieze on the bolts?


that should do it. thanks guys cant wait

I used the specs AF_Hemi has on his pacesetter install how to on another site. I will see if I can find it. I think it is 23 or 24 ft-lbs, but cannot remember the pattern.

Which headers did you end up going with? Shorties or LT's? Shorties should just bolt right up but the LT's need a bit more work
