Overview:
BBK Performance Long-Tube Headers and Mid-Pipes are engineered specifically for the 2005 to 2008 Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum equipped with the 5.7L Hemi V8 engine in rear-wheel-drive configurations. Designed to unlock the full potential of your Hemi-powered vehicle, these components improve exhaust flow, increase horsepower and torque, and enhance throttle response. Whether you’re upgrading for street performance or off-road use, BBK’s long-tube headers and mid-pipes offer a direct bolt-on solution that maximizes engine efficiency and sound quality.
Available in both chrome and silver ceramic finishes, the headers provide durable protection and a sleek appearance. The mid-pipes come with optional high-flow catalytic converters to maintain emissions compliance in most states outside of California. Together, these parts form a complete exhaust upgrade that delivers measurable performance gains and aggressive exhaust tone.

- Headers feature solid 3/8" laser-cut exhaust flanges for a precise, leak-free fit
- Mid-pipes made from 2-3/4" CNC mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
- Available mid-pipes with high-flow steel substrate catalytic converters (49-state legal)
- Chrome or silver ceramic header finish options for durability and style
- Designed specifically for 2005–2008 5.7L Hemi RWD Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger, and Magnum
- Requires O2 sensor extension harnesses for proper sensor placement and engine management
- Complete bolt-on installation when paired with BBK mid-pipes and O2 sensor extensions
- Improves horsepower, torque, and exhaust sound without extensive modifications
Construction & Design:
BBK’s long-tube headers are precision-engineered using CNC mandrel-bent 1-3/4" tubing, ensuring smooth bends that maintain exhaust gas velocity and reduce flow restrictions. The headers feature thick 3/8" laser-cut flanges that provide a strong, flat sealing surface for a reliable connection to the cylinder heads. The choice of chrome or silver ceramic finishes offers both corrosion resistance and an attractive appearance under the hood.
The accompanying mid-pipes are crafted from premium 304 stainless steel with 2-3/4" diameter tubing, designed to complement the headers and maintain optimal exhaust flow. The high-flow catalytic converter option uses steel substrate cats that balance emissions control with performance gains, making these mid-pipes suitable for street-driven vehicles in most states.
Performance & Sound
By replacing restrictive factory exhaust manifolds with BBK’s long-tube headers and mid-pipes, your 5.7L Hemi engine breathes more freely, resulting in increased horsepower and torque throughout the RPM range. The long-tube design enhances scavenging effects, improving cylinder evacuation and combustion efficiency. This upgrade also delivers a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note that enhances the driving experience without excessive drone.
Installation & Fitment:
These headers and mid-pipes are designed for direct bolt-on installation on 2005–2008 Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum models equipped with the 5.7L Hemi engine and rear-wheel drive. For a complete and proper installation, BBK recommends purchasing the long-tube headers, mid-pipes, and O2 sensor extension harnesses together. The O2 sensor extensions are necessary to relocate the sensors due to the longer header tubes and ensure accurate engine management.
Note that if headers are purchased individually without mid-pipes and harnesses, additional fabrication may be required. The mid-pipes are available in both off-road straight pipe and high-flow catalytic converter versions, allowing you to choose based on your local emissions requirements and performance goals.
What's Included:
- BBK Long-Tube Headers (Chrome or Silver Ceramic finish)
- BBK Mid-Pipes with optional High-Flow Catalytic Converters
- O2 Sensor Extension Harnesses (2 sets recommended: front and rear sensors)
- Installation hardware and gaskets (where applicable)
Ideal For:
This BBK long-tube header and mid-pipe system is ideal for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their 5.7L Hemi-powered Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger, or Dodge Magnum for improved performance and sound. It suits street performance builds, weekend racers, and off-road enthusiasts who want a reliable, bolt-on exhaust upgrade that enhances power delivery and exhaust tone without extensive modifications.
Emissions Note
These headers and mid-pipes are not legal for sale or use in California or any state that has adopted California emissions standards. Please verify your local and state emissions laws before purchasing. The high-flow catalytic converter mid-pipes are 49-state legal but intended for off-road use only in restricted areas.
