Construction & Design

Each JBA Shorty Header is expertly constructed from premium stainless steel, chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and ability to withstand high temperatures. The mandrel bending process ensures smooth, consistent tubing bends that maintain optimal exhaust flow without restrictions or turbulence. The headers feature thick, precision-machined flanges that provide a perfect seal against the cylinder head, minimizing leaks and improving exhaust scavenging.

The signature Firecone collector design is a standout engineering feature that merges exhaust gases efficiently, enhancing scavenging and boosting low- to mid-range torque where it matters most during everyday driving and towing. The silver ceramic coating not only adds a sleek finish but also helps to retain heat within the headers, improving exhaust velocity and reducing under-hood temperatures.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory manifolds, JBA Shorty Headers significantly improve exhaust flow, resulting in increased horsepower and torque. Drivers will notice sharper throttle response and improved engine efficiency. The headers also contribute to a more aggressive exhaust note, enhancing the driving experience without excessive drone or harshness.
