2002 Dodge Durango, Drive Shaft Hitting Y-Pipe Sign In

Hello all, I have a couple of questions and I am hoping that someone can help me out.


I recently had headers installed on my truck and I have noticed a loss in power and fuel efficiency instead of a gain in both, the mechanic also installed new plugs, wires, a rotor button and distributor cap. The mechanic who installed the headers put about a half inch deep crease in my y-pipe because the driveshaft was hitting the pipe after he put the headers on. Could that be the problem? Can it be fixed?

Did you notice a loss of power and fuel mileage after the headers were installed or after the tune-up?

Really don't think a 1/2 crease should cause excessive back pressure, but you could measure back pressure with a gauge. Shouldn't be over 3 psi at 2500 rpm.

Is the check engine light on?

Have you contacted the repair shop and let them know of the situation after the mod and tune up?
