BBK Shorty Headers

Fits Most Chrysler/Dodge 6.4L/6.2L/5.7L/3.6L (11-23)

Part #: 40190

Overview

The BBK 1.875" Shorty Headers in Silver Ceramic are precision-engineered performance exhaust headers designed specifically for Dodge and Chrysler muscle cars equipped with HEMI V8 engines from 2011 through 2023. These direct-fit headers replace the restrictive factory manifolds on models including the Challenger and Charger R/T Scat Pack 6.4L, SRT 392, SRT Hellcat 6.2L, and the 300C SRT8 6.4L, delivering improved exhaust flow and enhanced engine efficiency.

Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable upgrade that boosts horsepower and torque without sacrificing drivability, these headers optimize exhaust scavenging for better combustion and fuel economy. Their durable silver ceramic finish not only provides a sleek appearance but also offers excellent heat resistance and corrosion protection.

Key Features

BBK’s shorty headers combine advanced engineering with quality materials to deliver superior performance and durability. Key features include:

• 1.875-inch CNC mandrel-bent tubing for smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow
• Tuned length design to improve scavenging waves and combustion efficiency
• 3/8-inch laser-cut exhaust flanges for enhanced strength and a leak-free seal
• Robotic and precision hand welding for consistent build quality
• Pressure tested to ensure long-lasting reliability under real-world conditions
• Silver ceramic coating for heat resistance, corrosion protection, and a polished look
• Direct bolt-on fitment with no modifications required
• Includes all necessary gaskets, bolts, and hardware for a complete installation

Construction & Design

Manufactured from high-grade steel, these BBK shorty headers feature CNC mandrel-bent tubing that maintains consistent diameter bends to maximize exhaust gas velocity and reduce flow restrictions. The 3/8-inch thick laser-cut flanges provide a robust mounting surface that resists warping and ensures a tight, leak-free connection to the cylinder heads.

The headers are expertly welded using a combination of robotic precision and skilled hand finishing, resulting in a flawless build that withstands the rigors of high-performance driving. The silver ceramic coating enhances thermal management by reflecting heat away from the engine bay, reducing underhood temperatures and protecting the headers from rust and corrosion over time.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory manifolds with BBK’s tuned length shorty headers, drivers experience improved exhaust scavenging that promotes more complete combustion. This leads to noticeable gains in horsepower and torque across the powerband, enhancing throttle response and overall engine efficiency.

Additionally, these headers contribute to a more aggressive exhaust note, delivering a deeper and more refined sound that complements the muscular character of HEMI-powered vehicles without excessive drone.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct-fit replacement, BBK shorty headers install easily on all 2011–2023 Dodge Challenger and Charger R/T Scat Pack 6.4L, SRT 392, SRT Hellcat 6.2L, and Chrysler 300C SRT8 6.4L HEMI models. No cutting, welding, or modifications are necessary, making installation straightforward for experienced mechanics and knowledgeable enthusiasts alike.

The kit includes all required gaskets, bolts, and hardware, ensuring a complete and hassle-free upgrade that maintains factory-level sealing and durability.
