PPE Short-Tube Exhaust Headers (2003-2008 Ram 1500 5.7L HEMI) - (216210030
Overview
Unlock better exhaust flow and improved throttle response on your 2003-2008 Ram 1500 5.7L HEMI with PPE's Short-Tube Stainless Steel Exhaust Headers. Designed as a performance-minded upgrade over the restrictive factory cast-iron manifolds, these headers deliver increased torque, sharper response, and long-term durability.
High-Quality 304 Stainless Steel Construction
Each header is built using 1-5/8-inch polished 304 stainless steel primary tubes paired with a 3/8-inch laser-cut flange to resist warping and maintain a reliable seal. The CNC mandrel-bent tubing maximizes exhaust flow and reduces backpressure, helping your HEMI breathe more efficiently.
Direct Bolt-On Fitment
These shorty headers are engineered as a direct replacement for the OEM manifolds. The OE-style slip-fit collector ensures a leak-free connection and works with both factory and aftermarket mid-pipes, giving you flexibility in your exhaust setup. PPE includes new gaskets and hardware to make installation straightforward.
Performance Benefits
With improved exhaust scavenging and reduced restriction, these headers help boost torque, enhance throttle response, and may contribute to better fuel efficiency. They also add a cleaner, more refined exhaust tone compared to the stock manifolds.
