v6 headers

[charger.de]

Does anyone know if there are any type of header replacements for the Charger V6 SXT? If so who makes them?

[charger1]

haven't found any or heard of them yet for us.

[dispdan311]

no havent seen or heard anything yet for the V6`s but i know there are some for the hemi

[ZMagnum]

These might fit. Someone needs to take the chance and buy them. Take them to an exhaust shop and see what they can do.

Just by looking at them, I don't think they'd even come close to fitting in the engine bay. Our motor takes up almost the whole bay anyway, and these headers stick way out to the sides.

[BLKCHARGER]

I was looking at my headers a few days ago and it looks like there is a precat welded right to the collector... If we could get rid of that precat we may see some performance gains...

I think there is room. The existing exhaust manifold plus heat shields take up quite a bit of that space but even then I see gaps on either side.

I sent an Email off to Paxton asking about these headers. I'll let you all know if I hear anything back from them.

[charger.de]

thanks any help would be great!:grin:

[ChargerSXT]

I, too, would like headers. But, I think I'll wait to see what the guys on LXForums, who are currently working on a turbo for the HEMI and have promised a V6 version, come out with. By the time my extended warranty expires, either headers or a turbo kit should be available for the V6.

[ZMagnum]

I still have not heard from Paxton. :(

[ChargerSXT]

I still have not heard from Paxton. :(

I'd be more surprised if you did hear from them. I have emailed them a couple of times with questions, and I've never heard back from them.

[ZMagnum]

Update - It seems that the Paxton headers are cheap POS. I spoke with Belanger Headers and ProwlerPro. They are not sure if Prowler headers will fit or not but Dean at ProwlerPro is willing to look into it for us. He is going to buy some exhaust gaskets for the 3.5L V6 and see how the holes line up. Since Belanger Headers is right up the road from me in Phoenix they may use my car or one of our Phoenix member's cars for fitment / jig. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. This is all preliminary.

[srt4evah]

That would be cool if they decide to make some 3.5L headers. The 3.5L has been around for a long time, but it was never considered a performance engine, or at least never in a real performance car. The Intrepid R/T and 300M were the top applications, and since Dodge never promoted any kind of aftermarket for them, nobody developed much beyond exhaust and intake for them.

It would be cool to see 300HP from the 3.5L V6, with headers/exhaust/intake and maybe a throttle body, give some extra grunt to that 3900lb beast.

Sweet. When are you looking to have this done/tried? Let us know how it goes.

After thinking about it a bit more, I think the headers would be better (for me) than waiting for a turbo. If I wait unitl the turbo is done, and for my warranty to run out, then, based on the number of miles that I put on my car, I'll have over 100k, and I'm not sure that I would want to turbo an engine with that many miles. So, bring on the headers!!!

Hopefully soon after I hear back from them. If I keep getting side jobs making extra cash it will be good. If they don't get installed in Phoenix I know a great place in Tucson to have them put on.

I'm curious to see how it turns out. Keeps us informed, please.

[kureso]

I am also very interested in this. I would love to put headers on my 3.5.

[johnnoottom]

yea me too .. i would love to put more punch in my car....keep me updated as well

[ZMagnum]

Hopefully Mr. Belanger will be at the Scottsdale Pavilions this Saturday and so I'll have a chance to talk to him. Otherwise I'll give Dean at ProwlerPro a call again if he doesn't call me first.

[Gatornavy]

Any news, as I'm also very interested. Oh and thanks ZMagnum, you've taught me so freakin much on this site. I'm practically an expert Charger owner now thanks to you. :)

[ZMagnum]

And I have a Magnum LOL.

No new news. The Belanger person didn't show at the Pavilions last Saturday. I'll give Dean at ProwlerPro a call again.

[project]

headers would be sweet. Let us know da deal.

[ChargerSXT]

Hey, Project. The missus says to tell you that Saturday is another FWP day!

[TheBigAndy]

I want headers.... I figure I will do headers and full exhaust, K&N intake, Jet 2 chip and maybe a throttle body and call it a day. If that does not pout me where I want to be, 50 Dry shot should get me there. And by this time the SXT should be paid off and I will buy a Sublime or Plum Crazy....

[dalucifer]

I to am interested in headers :)

[TheBigAndy]

Hey, less posting, more finding out:lol: and an off topic question, the 3.5 K&N 63 Series Air Intake 63-1117 is the one thats gonna fit my car, right?

I left a message with Prowlerpro (Dean) last week. He has not called back yet. I'll call again but I want to give him some space. I don't want to be all over him and piss him off.

I'm not sure about the K&N. Are you talking about a drop-in filter? If so, it should be the same filter as for the 5.7 V8. The stock airbox is the same size.

[TheBigAndy]

No I was talking abut the CAI, this one to be exact....

It looks correct to me.

[dalucifer]

update on the headers yet?

[ZMagnum]

OK, just got off the phone with Dean from Prowlerpro. He said that everything lines up as far as the ports are concerned. He said they would not need to make a new flange which is good. He is willing to send me a used set of headers to see if my local exhaust shop can fit them on. He wants me to give him a call next week to make sure the expected car comes in for header removal.

that is just awesome! If everything works out than you get a free set headers for your V-6. Lucky dog!
Also if everything works out I am feeling a group buy for the V-6 ers and prowlerpro making some good money off of V-6 Charger owners. I'll have to tell the wife as soon as she gets in, I am feeling some "extra care" for me tonight! :happy:

[ZMagnum]

I also just spoke with Lou Belanger of Belanger Headers. He is up the road 100 miles from me in Phoenix. He makes the headers that ProwerPro sells. It sounds like he is willing to look at my car as well. If the headers are only a little bit off he can easily make the changes. If this works out we would buy the Belanger headers from ProwlerPro. Belanger does not sell direct.

Hey, what about me?

TMI!!!!!! :sick:



If/when the headers come out, we'll need to have a meet-n-mod at your place. :D

[dalucifer]

great update...:)..hopefully everything will work out and we can get some headers..

[Feros]

Hey, what about me?
You can't give me special care like my wife does. :)

ohhhhh we have had 3 meet & mods at my house so far, and not once did ya' swing by. even project swung by and even touched a wrench, twice. :whistle:
J/K
yup, sounds like a plan!

So, ummmm, what are you trying to say..... :tongue:

[dijedil]

I'd be very interested in these headers as well. Here's luck to us.

[johnnoottom]

HELL YEAH
Post some clips as well

[Hoodie]

Very interested in this.. One of the mods I've been waiting to see us finally get..

[ChargerSXT]

Question: Will there be an option for coated headers?

[spoonerock]

If not precoated, you can send them to Jet-Hot and have it done:

It's "next week." :D

[ZMagnum]

LOL. It's Monday. Let me give him a chance to get that Prowler in and pull the headers.

These headers are supposed to be coated with something. I remember Lou Belanger mentioning it.

[ZMagnum]

Here is an update from ASU_Magnum on LXForums. I asked him for help since he lives in Phoenix.

"Just got off the phone with Belanger Headers, who happen to be 8 miles away from me, and they seemed exited that there might actually be a market for the headers. As soon as they are done with a custom they are building, they are going to throw my car up on the rack and see if the headers will fit... stay tuned :P"

Sorry, but patience is not my strongest virtue.

[ChargerSXT]

Here's a noob question for you guys and gals. What kind of benefits can be expected from our V6's with headers?

[ChargerSXT]

Now it's Thursday. :D

[ZMagnum]

Nothing yet. I was on IM with ASU_Magnum yesterday. Sounds like he is close to taking his Magnum over to Belanger.

[rrdrummer5]

trust me fellas, when we know, you'll be the first ones we tell :)

I wanted to reask this question...since there have been no responses to it.

(and I wanted to get this thread back up to the top of the V6 Specific Discussion forum...just so no one "forgets" about it. :wink: :D )

The Belanger folks think headers will make a big difference for the V6. More hp. Much more more is unknown though. Hopefully a lot.
