OEM Exhaust Manifolds vs. Flashark Headers

  • Exhaust Flow Efficiency: Factory exhaust manifolds restrict airflow, while Flashark headers use smooth mandrel-bent tubing that lets exhaust exit more freely, improving engine breathing and overall performance.
  • Heat Management: OEM designs trap heat near the engine, raising under-hood temperatures. Flashark headers disperse heat more efficiently, helping your truck run cooler under load.
  • Performance Gains: Stock manifolds limit horsepower. Flashark headers improve exhaust scavenging for stronger torque, quicker throttle response, and a noticeable increase in top-end power.
  • Exhaust Sound: OEM manifolds produce a quiet, flat tone. Flashark headers unlock a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note, giving the RAM 1500 5.7L HEMI a performance-inspired sound that matches its V8 character.
  • Long-Term Durability: OEM materials can rust or crack over time. Flashark headers are crafted from corrosion-resistant 201 stainless steel, offering long-lasting strength and reliability.

Why Upgrade Your RAM 1500 5.7L HEMI?

Flashark headers are engineered to maximize performance, sound, and durability beyond what OEM manifolds can deliver. Whether your RAM 1500 is a daily driver, tow rig, or performance build, this upgrade transforms how your truck feels and responds.

Short Tube vs. Long Tube Headers

  • Torque and Throttle Response: Short tube headers boost mid-range torque, making your RAM 1500 5.7L HEMI feel more responsive in daily driving. Long tube headers provide stronger gains across the RPM range for maximum horsepower.
  • Installation and Fitment: Short tube headers are easier to install and fit most RAM 1500 2WD models. Long tube headers require more space and experience but deliver higher performance potential.
  • Driving Experience and Sound: Short tube headers enhance the exhaust note with a cleaner, moderately aggressive tone. Long tube headers produce a louder, more aggressive sound that highlights the V8 character of the RAM 1500.
  • Performance Potential: Short tube headers give a balanced power boost for street use. Long tube headers maximize horsepower and torque, ideal for tuned or track-ready builds.

Recommended Use Cases & Driving Scenarios

Different drivers have different goals, and choosing the right header ensures the best results.

Choose RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7L Short Tube Headers If You:

  • Drive your RAM daily
  • Want better throttle response and mid-range torque
  • Prefer easy installation and OEM-like drivability
  • Enjoy weekend cruising or light off-roading

Choose RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7L Long Tube Headers If You:
