JBA Headers 1695SJS Shorty Headers Silver Ceramic Stainless Steel 5.4/5.8L

These Cat4ward shorty headers replace the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds to unlock measurable horsepower and torque gains while maintaining emissions compliance.

Key Features:

• Mandrel-bent stainless steel primary tubes — 1-5/8" diameter for optimal flow, durability, and improved throttle response
• Proprietary JBA Firecone merge collector — patented race-proven technology engineered for maximum horsepower and torque output
• 3/8" thick laser-cut machined flanges — resists warping, prevents exhaust leaks, and simplifies installation
• Extra thick collector domes — will not distort under heat like lesser-quality headers, ensuring a leak-free seal
• Oversized exhaust ports — increases exhaust flow and accommodates cylinder head porting
• Silver ceramic coating — provides superior corrosion protection and acts as a thermal barrier to reduce underhood temperatures
• Factory-style emission connections — retains OEM oxygen sensor and emissions hardware for straightforward installation
• CARB EO Exempt — California Air Resources Board Executive Order Number D-57-48
• Includes premium-quality mounting hardware and installation instructions for a professional, no-leak fit

JBA's shorty header design significantly reduces exhaust restriction compared to stock cast-iron manifolds, delivering improved engine efficiency and a more aggressive exhaust note. The silver ceramic finish not only protects the stainless steel construction from the elements but also keeps heat contained within the exhaust system where it belongs. These headers are engineered to fit all factory stock components without modification — including OEM cylinder heads, chassis, and motor mounts — for a straightforward installation.

Backed by JBA's one-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser.
