Construction & Design

The aFe Twisted Steel Shorty Headers are built from high-grade 304 stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and ability to withstand high temperatures. The mandrel-bent tubing maintains consistent diameter throughout bends, promoting smooth exhaust flow and minimizing turbulence. This construction not only improves performance but also extends the life of the headers under demanding conditions.

Each flange is laser-cut and machined to exacting standards, ensuring a perfect mating surface that prevents exhaust leaks. The headers are fully MIG-welded, providing race-proven strength and durability that can handle the rigors of spirited driving and track use.

Performance & Sound

By optimizing exhaust flow and reducing restrictions, these shorty headers unlock additional horsepower and torque, enhancing acceleration and throttle response. The improved exhaust scavenging also contributes to a more aggressive engine note, delivering a deeper and more muscular sound that complements the Hellcat and 392 powerplants.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade, the aFe Twisted Steel Shorty Headers install easily using factory mounting points and hardware.
