1997-2004 Dodge Dakota Headers

Extract more power from your Dakota with 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota Headers replacing restrictive cast-iron manifolds. Long-tube designs scavenge exhaust pulses more efficiently than factory equipment, reducing backpressure while creating aggressive exhaust notes that announce your truck's presence during acceleration.

 

Dakota header selection involves confirming your truck's engine size since V6 and V8 configurations use completely different designs with unique port spacing. Ceramic coating costs extra but dramatically extends header lifespan in harsh climates where road salt accelerates rust on bare steel, potentially justifying the upcharge through extended service life.

 

Headers work best alongside 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota Exhaust improvements and 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota Exhaust Systems for complete flow paths, then add 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota Cold Air Intakes feeding more air. Building power intelligently means addressing restrictions throughout airflow paths rather than randomly bolting on parts hoping for gains.
