Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi Shorty Headers, Satin Silver Ceramic Coated
Satin Silver Ceramic Coated shorty headers built for the 5.7L Hemi V8 in 2009–2018 Ram 1500 trucks (sold as Dodge Ram 1500 in 2009–2010) and 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic old-body trucks, 2WD and 4WD.
Satin silver ceramic coated stainless steel. Many ceramic coated headers are mild steel underneath. These are stainless steel, so the tubing itself resists rust if the coating is ever chipped or scratched. The metallic silver finish is less reflective than polished stainless. Slight variations in shade or texture can occur in the coating process.
Mandrel-bent tubing, thick laser-cut flanges and precision-welded primary joints bolt to the factory cylinder-head mounting locations with no cutting, welding or fabrication. Outlets connect at the factory exhaust connection points.
Upgraded gaskets: Each kit includes two 1/8 in Certified Fitment Series graphite header gaskets. The thicker, compressible graphite conforms to minor irregularities on clean, properly prepared sealing surfaces, giving a more forgiving seal than thin steel-clad gaskets.
Fitment: Fits 2009–2018 Ram 1500 (sold as Dodge Ram 1500 in 2009–2010) and 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic (old body) with the 5.7L Hemi, 2WD and 4WD. Does not fit 2019 and newer new-body (DT) Ram 1500, or any Ram 2500 or 3500.
