1973 Duster headers

I contacted Doug's about this as I have a 73 Dart Sport and wanted to save the $150 or so on the price over the TTIs. They would not guarantee fitment because of the change in the front suspension between 72 and 73. I believe they would probably fit but, with no guarantee, I'm hesitant about pulling the trigger.

I totally agree. Im looking for some that i know will fit for sure without modification.

They fit just fine guys. I have them on my '74. The changes in the steering link/pitman arm doesn't change the fit, neither does the change of the engine mounts to the spool type. Those were the only changes in '73 that would mess with header clearance.

If you find someone to guarantee the fit on any of these headers I'd be surprised. Not all of these cars are identical, and it's pretty normal for a set of headers, even the TTI's or Doug's, to require a dimple or two for clearance. On my car the only issues I have with clearance on the Doug's D453's are because of my 1.12" torsion bars. If I had a set of stock bars they would have cleared everywhere right out of the box.
