in the thick of it...

Thanks for the response.

I'm aware that TTI and Doug's have headers, but before I plop down a grand on a non-returnable item I'd like to hear from anyone with a similar setup to mine that has direct knowledge or certainty that it will work. The TTI setup requires a $300 starter, a remote oil filter get-up, and standard-ratio pitman/idler arms that I'd have to change out. If that's the only option, then great. But what about Doug's? There seem to be conflicting reports about how it fits or doesn't fit. Surely I'm not the first to be in this position.

Thanks again.
I had ordered the Dougs through Summit(got 10% off)the tubes are 1 5/8,s,these were to small for my application,so I returned them for some 1 7/8 Hedman Huslers(fenderwell)You might want to look at the Dakota 318 manifolds.Good luck.
