Part #: 1962SJS

Overview

The JBA Shorty Headers in silver ceramic coating are a premium performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2004–2009 Dodge Durango equipped with the 5.7L Hemi engine. These headers replace the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds to improve exhaust flow, resulting in enhanced engine efficiency and increased power output. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable and durable solution, JBA Shorty Headers deliver noticeable gains in horsepower and torque without compromising daily drivability.

Built to withstand the demands of towing, racing, and everyday driving, these headers offer a balance of performance and longevity. Their design ensures compatibility with factory emission systems, making them a practical upgrade for street-driven vehicles.

Key Features

JBA Shorty Headers incorporate advanced engineering and quality materials to maximize performance and durability. Key features include:

• Mandrel bent stainless steel tubing for smooth exhaust flow and reduced restrictions
• Proprietary JBA Firecone collector design that enhances scavenging for improved power and torque
• Factory-style emission connections to maintain compliance and ease of installation
• Extra thick collector domes for increased strength and heat resistance
• 3/8" thick machined flanges with oversized exhaust ports to ensure a precise, leak-free seal
• Silver ceramic coating that provides corrosion resistance and helps manage under-hood temperatures
• High-quality hardware included for a professional-grade installation

Construction & Design

Constructed from durable stainless steel, JBA Shorty Headers are engineered to endure the harsh conditions of performance driving and daily use. The mandrel bending process maintains consistent tube diameter throughout the bends, minimizing turbulence and maximizing exhaust gas velocity. The thick machined flanges ensure a perfect fit against the cylinder heads, preventing leaks and improving sealing.

The proprietary Firecone collector design is race-proven technology that optimizes exhaust scavenging, which translates into better torque and horsepower gains in real-world driving conditions. The silver ceramic coating not only enhances corrosion resistance but also reduces radiant heat, protecting surrounding engine components and improving overall thermal management.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive stock manifolds, JBA Shorty Headers significantly improve exhaust flow, which results in increased engine efficiency and power output. Drivers will notice enhanced throttle response and a more aggressive exhaust note that complements the Durango’s muscular 5.7L Hemi engine without being overly loud or intrusive. This balance makes the headers suitable for both spirited driving and everyday use.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory exhaust manifolds, these headers fit the 2004–2009 Dodge Durango with the 5.7L Hemi engine. The inclusion of factory-style emission connections ensures compatibility with stock emissions equipment, simplifying installation and maintaining legal compliance where applicable. Installation requires basic mechanical skills and common hand tools, with no major modifications necessary.
