JBA Shorty Headers

2006–2024 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Chrysler 300 5.7L Hemi

Part #: 1964S-1JS

Overview

The JBA Shorty Headers in Silver Ceramic finish are a premium performance upgrade designed specifically for the 5.7L Hemi engines found in Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Chrysler 300 models from 2006 through 2024. These headers replace restrictive factory exhaust manifolds, improving exhaust flow and increasing engine efficiency. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced horsepower and torque without sacrificing daily drivability, JBA Shorty Headers deliver a noticeable performance boost while maintaining compatibility with factory emissions systems.

Built to withstand the rigors of racing, towing, and everyday driving, these headers offer a reliable and durable solution for maximizing the potential of your Hemi-powered vehicle. Their design focuses on improving throttle response and exhaust scavenging, making them a smart upgrade for street performance and light track use.

Key Features

JBA Shorty Headers incorporate advanced engineering and quality materials to ensure superior performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Mandrel bent stainless steel tubing for smooth exhaust flow and durability
• Proprietary JBA Firecone collector design, proven in racing applications for optimal power and torque gains
• Factory-style emission connections to maintain compliance and ease of installation
• Extra thick collector domes for enhanced strength and heat resistance
• 3/8" thick machined flanges with oversized exhaust ports to reduce backpressure
• Silver ceramic coating for corrosion resistance and improved heat management
• High-quality hardware included for a secure, leak-free installation

Construction & Design

Each JBA Shorty Header is expertly crafted from premium stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance and ability to withstand high temperatures. The mandrel bending process ensures smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow by maintaining consistent tube diameter through bends, reducing turbulence and backpressure. The headers feature thick, machined flanges that provide a precise seal against the cylinder head, preventing leaks and improving durability.

The signature Firecone collector merges exhaust gases efficiently, enhancing scavenging effects that translate into improved power delivery across the RPM range. The silver ceramic coating not only protects the headers from rust and corrosion but also helps to retain heat within the exhaust gases, promoting faster catalytic converter light-off 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. The Firecone collector design optimizes exhaust scavenging, enhancing mid-range and top-end power where it matters most during everyday driving and spirited performance. Additionally, these headers contribute to a more aggressive exhaust note, providing a deeper and more refined sound without excessive drone.
