Part #: 1962SJT

Overview

The JBA Shorty Headers in Titanium Ceramic finish are a premium performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2004 to 2009 Dodge Durango equipped with the 5.7L Hemi engine. These headers replace the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds, improving exhaust flow to unlock increased horsepower and torque. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced engine efficiency and power without sacrificing daily drivability, JBA Shorty Headers deliver a noticeable performance boost while maintaining compatibility with factory emission systems.

Built to withstand the rigors of towing, racing, and everyday driving, these headers offer a durable and reliable solution for drivers looking to maximize their Durango’s potential. The Titanium Ceramic coating not only provides a sleek appearance but also helps reduce under-hood temperatures for improved engine bay conditions.

Key Features

JBA Shorty Headers incorporate advanced design elements and quality materials to ensure superior performance and longevity:

• Mandrel bent stainless steel tubing for smooth exhaust flow and durability
• Proprietary JBA Firecone collector design, proven in racing applications to optimize power and torque
• Factory-style emission connections for seamless integration with stock emissions equipment
• Extra thick collector domes to enhance strength and heat resistance
• 3/8" thick machined flanges with oversized exhaust ports for improved sealing and exhaust scavenging
• Titanium Ceramic coating to reduce heat soak and provide corrosion resistance
• Includes high-quality hardware for a professional, leak-free installation

Construction & Design

Each JBA Shorty Header is expertly crafted from premium stainless steel tubing, mandrel bent to maintain consistent diameter and smooth bends that minimize exhaust restrictions. The headers feature thick, machined flanges that ensure a precise fit and superior sealing against the cylinder head. The oversized exhaust ports further enhance flow efficiency, reducing backpressure for improved engine breathing.

The standout Firecone collector design is a race-proven technology that merges exhaust pulses efficiently to maximize scavenging effects, resulting in better torque and horsepower gains across the RPM range. The Titanium Ceramic finish not only adds a striking look but also acts as a thermal barrier, lowering under-hood temperatures and protecting the headers from corrosion and wear.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory manifolds, JBA Shorty Headers significantly improve exhaust flow, which translates to increased engine power and responsiveness. Drivers will experience enhanced throttle response and a noticeable gain in torque, especially in the mid-range RPMs where daily driving and towing demands are highest. Additionally, these headers contribute to a more aggressive exhaust note, providing a deeper and more refined sound without excessive drone.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the 2004–2009 Dodge Durango 5.7L Hemi, JBA Shorty Headers install using factory mounting points and hardware. The inclusion of factory-style emission connections ensures compliance with stock emissions equipment, simplifying installation and avoiding the need for modifications. Installation typically requires basic hand tools and moderate mechanical experience, with no cutting or welding necessary.
