Dodge Truck Headers - 99-02 4.7L

The Dodge Truck Headers for 99-02 4.7L engines are a street-focused exhaust manifold upgrade designed for Dodge Dakota and Durango owners seeking improved engine breathing and bolt-on performance gains. Built by Hedman, a trusted name in header manufacturing, these units replace restrictive OEM manifolds to free up horsepower and torque while maintaining stock compatibility. Whether you're building a weekend warrior or simply want responsive power delivery on your daily driver, this header kit delivers the foundation for serious exhaust system upgrades.

Constructed from mandrel-bent steel tubing with 1.5-inch primary diameter piping, these headers are engineered to scavenge exhaust gases more efficiently than factory designs, reducing backpressure across the RPM range. The stock collector flange ensures seamless integration with your existing exhaust system, while the black paint finish resists corrosion and heat discoloration over time. All necessary gaskets and mounting hardware are included, eliminating the need for separate fastener sourcing and accelerating installation. The compact 13.4 x 8.4 x 21.8-inch footprint fits within the engine bay constraints of the 4.7L Mopar OHC V8 without requiring significant modification to surrounding components.

These headers are ideal for truck owners running 2000-2007 Dakota and Durango models who want measurable power improvements without complex tuning or ECU calibration. Installation is straightforward for mechanically competent DIYers, though professional installation ensures optimal gasket sealing and prevents exhaust leaks. Pairing these headers with a cat-back exhaust system and cold-air intake creates a synergistic power package, with the headers serving as the critical first stage in extracting trapped potential from your 4.7L powerplant. The 17.4-pound weight keeps underhood balance intact while the manifold design accommodates both street driving and light performance applications.
