1-5/8 Shorty Headers - 09-11 Dodge Ram Truck

The BBK Performance 1-5/8 Shorty Headers for 2009–2011 Dodge Ram Truck are designed for truck owners seeking improved exhaust flow and throttle response without the complexity of full-length headers. These shorty headers are ideal for vehicles with factory or lightly modified engines, providing significant gains in mid-range torque and top-end horsepower while ensuring adequate underhood clearance.

Engineered with optimized primary tube diameter and collector design, these headers maximize exhaust gas velocity and minimize backpressure. The 1-5/8 inch primary tubes are specifically sized for naturally aspirated performance, enhancing scavenging efficiency across the rev range typical of truck applications. The mandrel-bent construction ensures smooth internal geometry, reducing turbulence and allowing exhaust gases to exit more freely.

Owners of 2009-2011 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2500 trucks equipped with 5.7L Hemi engines will experience the most noticeable benefits, especially when these headers are paired with a quality cat-back exhaust system and cold air intake. Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic hand tools and no welding or custom fabrication, as these headers bolt directly to factory manifold locations.
