Construction & Design

Constructed from premium stainless steel, JBA Shorty Headers are built to withstand the rigors of racing, towing, and daily driving. The mandrel-bent tubes maintain consistent diameter throughout bends, minimizing flow restrictions and turbulence. The thick, machined flanges ensure a precise fit and superior sealing against the cylinder heads, reducing the risk of exhaust leaks. The Firecone collector design is a hallmark of JBA engineering, combining the exhaust pulses efficiently to maximize scavenging and improve overall engine performance.

The raw finish not only provides a clean, classic appearance but also allows for easy customization such as ceramic coating or painting to match your vehicle’s style and heat management preferences.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory manifolds, these shorty headers improve exhaust scavenging, resulting in increased horsepower and torque throughout the RPM range. The improved flow also enhances throttle response and engine efficiency. Additionally, the headers contribute to a more aggressive exhaust note, giving your Dodge Magnum or Charger a deeper and more commanding sound without excessive drone.
