Construction & Design

Constructed from durable stainless steel, JBA Shorty Headers are built to withstand the rigors of daily driving, towing, and even racing conditions. The mandrel-bent tubing ensures smooth bends that maintain consistent diameter, reducing turbulence and backpressure. This design promotes efficient exhaust scavenging, which translates into improved engine breathing and performance.

The headers feature thick, machined flanges that provide a precise fit and superior sealing against the cylinder head, preventing exhaust leaks. The Firecone collector is a signature JBA innovation that merges exhaust pulses effectively, enhancing torque and horsepower across the RPM range where you drive most.

Performance & Sound

By replacing restrictive factory manifolds, these shorty headers significantly improve exhaust flow, resulting in noticeable gains in horsepower and torque. The Firecone collector design helps optimize exhaust scavenging, which enhances throttle response and overall engine efficiency. Additionally, the headers contribute to a more aggressive exhaust note, giving your Hemi a deeper and more refined sound without excessive drone.

Installation & Fitment

JBA Shorty Headers are designed as direct bolt-on replacements for the factory exhaust manifolds on 2006–2024 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Chrysler 300 models with the 5.7L Hemi engine. The inclusion of factory-style emission connections ensures compatibility with existing emissions equipment, simplifying installation and maintaining legal compliance where applicable.

Installation requires basic mechanical skills and common hand tools. No major modifications or cutting are necessary, making these headers a straightforward upgrade for experienced enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
