Product Details

Every header is tuned with the proper tube size and length to efficientlyremove all the exhaust from each cylinder reducing pumping losses for dramatic gains in horsepower and torque. Dougs headers are carefully developed on the vehicles they are i ntended to fit and are checked and rechecked numerous times during the design and manufacturing process. Once you check the heavy-duty 1/2 to 5/8 thick machined and finished header flanges the smooth mandrel bent tubes and the attention paid to assemb ly youll want Dougs.The Metallic Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating (MCTBC) is simply the best header finish on the market and is the standard finish on all Dougs headers. MCTBC protects and extends the life of headers by creating a thermal barrier that significantly lowers under hood temperatures while protecting substrate metal from thermal fatigue.Dougs finishes their headers with a vibratory finishing process that compresses and activates the coating significantly increasi ng surface hardness to produce a coating 60% more corrosion resistant than standard header coating. This coating is easy to maintain and will not change color under normal operating conditions.Dougs has made that commitment and their name has become synonymous with quality. Theres no compromise at Dougs.Each header set includes all the necessary mounting hardware collector reducers or connector pipes premium gaskets and detailed installation instruction sheets. Our extra thick gaskets are rated up to 1100°F and are designed for an exact port match with Dougs headers.
