Headers replace the cast-iron exhaust manifolds with tubular pipes. These are shorty headers, meaning they stay about the size of the stock manifolds and bolt back to the factory Y-pipe, built by BBK with 1-3/4 inch mandrel-bent tubing and a titanium ceramic coating.

why this one — At $569.99 this is by far the cheapest way into headers on this truck, and because shorties reuse the factory Y-pipe the install is shorter than a long-tube system, though still a 5 to 7 hour job. BBK's "up to 14 hp" is marketing copy with no dyno chart behind it. Retailers also disagree on whether coverage ends in 2022, 2023 or 2024, so check your year before ordering.

heads up

No CARB-legal or off-road-only statement found on any retailer page checked; treat as unconfirmed emissions status (shorty, uncatted header design typically sold off-road-only, but no explicit statement located).

Gain shown is a manufacturer claim, not a guarantee. Price is a list price and can lag the retailer; confirm at checkout. See our affiliate disclosure.
