Get the headers coated.
I would invest in factory exhaust gaskets vs the ones that comes with the headers.

Whats the difference in getting them coated or not?

Its quite a list indeed, but not gonna buy it all at once, hoping to have it all ordered in by christmass time.
Basically im gonna put all my performance mods on at the same time so i can feel a huge difference.
Most of all my maintenance work is done and time to have fun. Took me a while to decide on the exhaust but now its been make up.

I was planning on getting the gaskets before. But i saw it saying it came with it.

The original Mopar gaskets are about 10x better than any other header gasket you can get. Get some from a dealership. I believe getting them ceramic coated makes em last longer, keeps em from cracking, etc. I have the stock cats in my garage with the original stock y pipe.

I also vote for Ceramic Coated headers.

They retain the heat better, leading to more efficient exhaust flow. Not to mention they don't rust out, and they *help* keep your under hood temps closer to stock.

are they the same cats as the 02-05 hemis? and would you be willing to sell them?

there will be pics and videos of course.

If someone else knows chime in. But I wouldn't see why they aren't. If you have a picture of yours I can tell you if they look alike.

The stock cats will NOT bolt right up to the headers, pipe size is completely different and its a completely deferent configuration all together. What I did with mine was cut them so they have a 3" in/out opening and welded the ory into it so they mate right up with the header collectors.
