RE: MOD TALK - 8/22/2007 12:28:51 PM    troymoto25   Posts: 4 Joined: 7/31/2007 Status: offline Thought you guys might want to see these. That's about all you can see of the headers once they are installed, not too exciting. The dyno graph shows a 42 lb-ft torque gain @ 2500rpm & 20 hp gain @ 2500rpm & 5500rpm, and you feel EVERY bit of it! The parts installed are Doug Thorley Headers (not Doug's Headers) shorties and a Doug Thorley Headers cat-back exhaust. To explain the graph, the BLACK line is my all stock 2007 4.7L (non HO) 2wd Dakota, the RED line is the headers only & the GREEN line is the headers & exhaust.

I mean obviously they'd be different but does that guy/company make them for the V6?? _____________________________ Dakota SLT 3.7L V6 4X2 6-SPD Manual http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2583201 (in reply to troymoto25) Post #: 101
