Construction & Design

Flowtech Shorty Headers are crafted from heavy-duty 16 gauge steel tubing, chosen for its strength and resistance to heat-related warping. The mandrel-bent tubing ensures consistent diameter bends, which optimizes exhaust gas flow and minimizes turbulence. This design contributes to improved engine breathing and efficiency.

The headers feature extra thick 3/8” flanges that provide a robust and leak-proof connection to the cylinder heads. The black painted finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also adds a clean, professional look under the hood. Every detail is engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.

Performance & Sound

By replacing restrictive factory exhaust manifolds with Flowtech Shorty Headers, you can expect improved exhaust scavenging and reduced backpressure. This translates into better horsepower and torque delivery across the RPM range. The headers help your 4.7L V8 engine breathe more efficiently, enhancing throttle response and overall engine performance.

The design also contributes to a more aggressive exhaust note without being overly loud, providing a satisfying sound that complements the vehicle’s V8 character while remaining suitable for daily driving.

Installation is straightforward and designed to be a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory exhaust manifolds on the specified Dodge Dakota and Durango models. No cutting, welding, or modifications to the factory exhaust system are necessary. The headers accommodate all original emission control devices, ensuring compliance and ease of installation.

Included premium gaskets and hardware simplify the process, allowing for a secure and leak-free fit. This makes the Flowtech Shorty Headers an excellent choice for both professional installers and experienced enthusiasts.
