Shorty Headers Dodge Ram 1500 Headers

Dodge RAM 1500 Headers address a fundamental limitation by replacing cast iron manifolds with high-flow tubular designs that dramatically improve exhaust gas scavenging from the cylinder heads. These precision-engineered components provide substantial torque and horsepower improvements by reducing exhaust gas restriction at the source, complementing other performance modifications for maximum system-wide gains.

 

Powertrain specialists emphasize that primary tube diameter selection represents the most critical decision when choosing Dodge RAM 1500 Headers for specific applications. The diameter sizing directly influences exhaust velocity and scavenging efficiency - properly sized tubes maintain optimal gas velocity for strong mid-range torque production, while oversized primaries can actually reduce torque in daily driving RPM ranges despite flowing more at peak power levels rarely accessed during normal operation.
