Since they are really the same thing, there is no answer. An exhaust manifold is a header and vice/versa.The common cast iron 'exhaust manifolds' are quiet, last forever, and cheap to produce. The headers you refer to are more expensive, short-lived and can be very pricey. But the first guy who bolted a pipe on the exhaust post of his single cylinder motor to keep from getting burned by the exhaust created the first header. He also created the first exhaust manifold. Take your pick.

Is there dual exhaust manifolds for v6 Dakota?

V6 Dakotas come with "dual exhaust manifolds". If your asking about exhaust systems, all I've seen are singles in and out or single in with dual tips (mufflers). The pipes to the mufflers is Y-pipe to single.

Does the 1991 LSC Special Edition come with factory headers if so would after market headers provide any benefit?

lsc coupes are very well designed. placing "aftermarket" headers doesn't really do much but cost you money. these cars are very fast as is, think... it was after all based on the ford gt mustang engine and tranny. performance wise, as a mark 7 owner i wouldn't change anything.LOL performance wise?...I think you mean "economically"AnswerIn specific, yes, the vehicle did come with factory headers as well as true dual exhaust. AnswerOK...So Im assuming that by headers you mean aftermarket...all cars have "headers" aka exhaust manifolds. Changing the exhaust manifolds is a GREAT idea to add extra horsepower and torque to your Mark. One of the weakest links on the 5.0 motor is the exhaust. The factory exhaust manifolds on the 5.0 are tiny little tubes of metal that choke your motor from breathing. If youre thinking of doing ANY kind of horsepower adding upgrades, don't start anywhere else but with new exhaust and intake components (upper and lower). 1 5/8" headers are ideal. Equal or unequal length are good, longtubes are the best but require some extensive work for the average do-it yourselfer. In my opinion start with a good catback system (mufflers, H-pipe, etc.) before you go getting involved with new headers. Just think of your motor as needing to breathe easier to make more power. The 5.0 motor is such a dog compared to what it could be...even in a Mustang...trust me, I do this for a living...these guys that posted before me just must not like fast cars =) AnswerI agree with the last post. The headers on the Marks just like the Mustangs are tiny. After market headers as long as they are larger diameter will make a difference. I owned a Mark myself. You should really upgrade the hole system but I know alot of the time people don't have $300 to drop on a new system. Headers would be a good place to start. Down the road you may want to look into getting you exhaust ports matched to the diameter ao the headers as well. They are alot smaller, but I strongly sugguest you have this done by a professional shop. hell yea after market headers will add power, look at the baby headers that came with the car.ANSWERI have a fully worked out 91 LSC special edition black. Leave the stock exhaust headers! They are plenty to push anything that the engine can handle. Get rid of the "4" cats and replace with 2 high flows to keep it legal. Switch to an Ford Explorer intake manifold from the junk yard (will require custom hood work to fit underneath) And put in some 1.7 roller rockers. If youre gonna go that far, MSD ignition and high power coil is recommended. I also converted to a stick shift...and i eat mustangs up all the time

2004 Chevy Blazer has two catalytic converters. One up close to the engine just after the pipes from the exhaust manifolds come together, and one down closer to the middle of the vehicle. The first one is sort of round, and the second is more flat and wide.


Does a 1970 mustang grande 302 have dual exhaust?

yes, the 1970 mustang grande 302 does have a factory dual exhaust. And its a straight up beast might I add -edit- It did not come standard with dual exhaust. The 302 base model regular fuel came with a 2bbl carb and manifold headers leading to a passenger-side, single-pipe exhaust. I owned one. It was ok but the 3sp tranny left you begging for more on the highway.
