Doug's Headers D453-R - Over kill for a stock 318?
« on: January 03, 2009 - 05:06:27 PM »
I have just got a stock style 4 brl intake on my challenger 318. The motor is stock other then this intake and new edelbrock carb. I was going to now move to exhaust. I have been looking around and had a few recommended. Keeping in mind that this motor will be a very mild build I would like to know what headers might be best for the motor.
   I had the Doug's Headers D453-R  full length headers recommended at a tune of 500 buck I want to know for sure if this would be an overkill or would work good. I am switching from single exhaust to duel at the same time. The car will have the original style duel exhaust ends and valance put in as well. To retain stock look at first glance.
   Any recommendations?   :worshippy

I think they'll be fine.  You may have to do some Ignition and fuel tuning to realize huge gains.

anyone have any good ideas for other headers for a 318? These where the first one I found. I would like to know if anyone else has any headers they recommend.  :cheers:

I've used the Doug's, and they are really nice.  You do have to clearance the factory 4-speed bellhousing though.
