 Subject: Exhaust Headers In Cali.
IP: Logged
Message:
When I had my Ranger 4.0L, I installed a set of ex. headers and ever since have had trouble getting it to pass smog. Unfortunately I live in California. Untill the third time around i got fed up and threw the original cast units back on. Now I'm kinda nervous about buying a set for my Dakota.
Is there anybody out there in Cali. that has an aftermarket set on there truck? Are you having the same problems I had? Or do Dakotas with aftermarket sets do better on emissions than my Ranger(92 4.0L V6)
Got a 2004 4.7L

Buy a set of headers that have a CARB EO# and you won't have to worry about passing smog (especially the visual check).

Gibson, JBA. You can find tons of them on eBay right now.

Go JBA, they sound good,they work good,and most are legal, i put Gibsons on one of my other Dakotas and within 1 yr they cracked completely around one of the tubes, i had to take it off and re-weld it last week.My JBA's have performed very well and have passed smog twice in the past.Although i have failed smog twice last week its due to a catalytic converter that seems to be too high flowing,New law starting jan 1 09 limits the cats you can put on your vehicle now i am down to one option....putting a 2.5 dia magnaflow cat on my 3" exhaust.
