Re: Anybody used Doug's Headers on a 4wd?

Thanks for the replies. I had a set of cheap headers on the truck when I tore it down to restore and the passenger side collector flange had the same issue of hitting the front drive shaft or the spring shackle. Not sure if I will get the Black painted or the Silver Ceramic ones yet, but I will cut off the flange and weld the exhaust pipe to the collector for better clearance. Any thoughts on removal of the ceramic stuff to be able to weld? I know the black paint won't be an issue to remove. How well does the black paint hold up? I figured the ceramic ones would keep the temp under the hood down a little.

Do the 372y's actually come in black? This I did not know.
