JBA Cat4Ward Silver Ceramic Coated Shorty Headers for 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (5.7L) 1-5/8in - 1961S-1JS

Fits 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 (5.7L HEMI).

JBA Cat4Ward shorty headers are a direct-fit performance upgrade designed to replace restrictive factory cast iron manifolds. Engineered for the 5.7L HEMI engine, these headers feature mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing to improve exhaust gas velocity and scavenge cylinders more effectively than stock components. The silver ceramic coating provides a durable finish that reduces under-hood temperatures and protects the substrate from corrosion.

Built for the rigors of towing and daily driving, these headers utilize JBA’s proprietary Firecone collector, a race-proven design that directs exhaust flow to maximize low-end torque and mid-range power. The 3/8-inch thick machined flanges ensure a flat sealing surface to prevent leaks, while oversized exhaust ports accommodate modified cylinder heads. Each kit includes factory-style emission connections and high-quality hardware for a straightforward installation.
