Construction & Design
This header is crafted from heavy-duty 409L stainless steel, known for its excellent resistance to rust and heat. The 16-gauge tubing is mandrel bent to ensure smooth bends and consistent diameter, optimizing exhaust gas flow and reducing backpressure. Precision laser cut port flanges at 3/8 inch thickness prevent warping and guarantee a tight, leak-free seal against the cylinder head.
The entire assembly is finished with a high-temperature ceramic coating capable of withstanding up to 1300°F. This coating protects the metal from corrosion and thermal fatigue while reducing engine bay temperatures, which contributes to improved engine efficiency and longevity.
Performance & Sound
By improving exhaust flow, the Gibson Ceramic Coated Performance Header enhances your Dodge Ram’s horsepower and torque, especially in the RPM ranges most used during highway cruising and everyday driving. The improved breathing reduces engine strain and heat buildup, resulting in cooler operating temperatures and sharper throttle response. Additionally, this header delivers a more aggressive yet refined exhaust note that enhances the driving experience without introducing excessive drone or harshness.
Installation & Fitment
Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory manifolds, this header installs easily using OEM style connections and the stock crossover pipe. No welding or custom modifications are necessary, making installation straightforward for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts. Basic hand tools are sufficient to complete the upgrade.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
