The Kooks Torque Series 1-5/8" x 1-3/4" Shorty Headers are a premium exhaust upgrade designed specifically for the 2009–2018 Ram 1500 equipped with the 5.7L VVT HEMI engine. These headers replace the restrictive factory manifolds to improve exhaust flow, resulting in significant horsepower and torque gains. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance without sacrificing daily drivability, these headers deliver a noticeable boost in power and throttle response for street, track, and off-road applications.
Engineered to optimize scavenging and exhaust velocity, the Torque Series headers provide a direct-fit solution that integrates seamlessly with the factory catalytic converters and emission systems. This makes them a practical upgrade for those wanting to maximize their HEMI’s potential while maintaining reliability and ease of installation.
Designed with precision and performance in mind, these Kooks headers offer a range of advanced features:
Kooks Torque Series Shorty Headers are meticulously crafted from premium 16 gauge 304 stainless steel, known for its excellent strength and resistance to rust and heat. The use of thick 3/8" stainless steel flanges with D-shaped ports ensures a perfect seal against the cylinder head, preventing exhaust leaks and improving overall efficiency.
The stepped primary tube design transitions from 1-5/8" to 1-3/4" diameter, which optimizes exhaust gas velocity and scavenging effect. This engineering detail enhances the engine’s breathing capability, allowing for improved combustion and power output. The headers are designed to maintain factory emission controls, including EGR provisions, making them a smart upgrade that balances performance with compliance.
By replacing the restrictive factory manifolds, these headers unlock significant performance gains, delivering over 25 horsepower and 40 lb-ft of torque improvements. The enhanced exhaust flow reduces backpressure, allowing the 5.7L HEMI to breathe more freely and respond quicker under acceleration.
In addition to power gains, the headers contribute to a more aggressive and refined exhaust note, enhancing the driving experience without excessive drone. This makes them suitable for both spirited street driving and more demanding track or off-road conditions.
The Kooks Torque Series Shorty Headers are engineered for a direct bolt-on installation on 2009–2018 Ram 1500 trucks with the 5.7L VVT HEMI engine. They connect directly to the factory catalytic converters and include provisions for the EGR system, ensuring compatibility with stock emission components.
All necessary gaskets and hardware are included, simplifying the installation process and eliminating the need for additional parts. While professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment and torque specifications, these headers are designed to fit without modifications to the vehicle’s exhaust or engine bay.
These headers are perfect for Ram 1500 owners looking to upgrade their 5.7L VVT HEMI’s exhaust system for improved horsepower, torque, and throttle response. Whether you’re a street enthusiast, weekend racer, or off-road adventurer, the Kooks Torque Series Shorty Headers provide a reliable, high-quality solution to enhance your truck’s performance and sound without compromising emissions compliance or daily drivability.

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!
