Part #: 1965SJS

Overview

The JBA 1.875" Shorty Headers in Silver Ceramic finish are a premium performance upgrade designed specifically for 2005 to 2014 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum models equipped with 6.1L and 6.4L engines. These headers replace restrictive factory exhaust manifolds, improving exhaust flow to enhance engine efficiency and power output. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable and durable solution to unlock additional horsepower and torque without sacrificing daily drivability.

Engineered to deliver noticeable gains in throttle response and overall performance, JBA Shorty Headers are a smart upgrade for street performance, towing, or light track use. Their design maintains factory-style emission connections, ensuring compatibility with stock emissions equipment for a seamless integration.

Key Features

JBA Shorty Headers incorporate advanced design elements and high-quality materials to maximize performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Mandrel bent stainless steel tubing for smooth exhaust flow and durability
• Proprietary JBA Firecone collector technology, proven in racing applications to optimize power and torque
• Extra thick collector domes for enhanced strength and heat management
• 3/8" thick machined flanges with oversized exhaust ports to reduce backpressure
• Factory style emission connections for easy installation and emissions compliance
• Silver ceramic coating for corrosion resistance and improved heat dissipation
• High-quality hardware included for a professional, leak-free installation

Construction & Design

Constructed from premium stainless steel, JBA Shorty Headers are built to withstand the rigors of daily driving, towing, and spirited performance use. The mandrel bent tubing ensures consistent diameter throughout the bends, minimizing flow restrictions and turbulence. The thick, machined flanges provide a precise fit and superior sealing surface, preventing exhaust leaks and enhancing durability.

The signature Firecone collector design merges exhaust pulses efficiently, promoting scavenging effects that improve engine breathing and power delivery. The silver ceramic coating not only protects against rust and corrosion but also helps to retain heat within the headers, improving exhaust velocity and reducing under-hood temperatures.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory manifolds, these JBA Shorty Headers significantly improve exhaust flow, resulting in increased horsepower and torque across the RPM range. The enhanced scavenging effect from the Firecone collector boosts mid-range torque, where most street-driven vehicles operate. Additionally, the headers contribute to a more aggressive exhaust note, delivering a deeper and more refined sound without excessive drone.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, JBA Shorty Headers fit 2005–2014 Chrysler 300 6.4L 392, 2006–2008 Dodge Magnum 6.1L SRT8, 2006–2014 Dodge Challenger 6.1L and 6.4L 392, and 2006–2014 Dodge Charger 6.1L and 6.4L 392 models. Installation requires no modifications to factory exhaust or emissions systems thanks to the inclusion of factory-style emission connections. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and leak-free sealing.
