shortie headers

[MDNUSA]

I have a friend with a 2012 srt8 charger. He replaced his o/e shortie headers with long tubes and has offered the shorties to me. Does anybody know if they will fit my truck? I'm replacing the stock manifolds due to broken bolts. Thanks!! 2011 1500 4wd 5.7

It won't be a direct bolt-in without some of modification to be made to use the factory y-pipe. That also depends if it will clear the driver's side.

If he can give you the charger y-pipe then I think you have a better chance of making it work. I'd say if you are getting both for next to nothing it's worth the hassle as the factory shorty srt8 headers seem well made. I did read that the factory jeep SRT8 headers work better but ultimately you are in uncharted territory.

I originally wanted to use factory srt8 headers but they are hard to find and the cost of acquiring them for a gamble of fit wasn't worth it to me. Good luck and I think it's worth a try if you can get both the headers and y-pipe.

They’ll fit your heads but won’t bolt on to the downpipes for the truck y-pipe. Will need modification to meet the header flanges.

Those are the answers I was hoping for. He's giving me the headers and y pipe for $175 so I'm thinking it'll be worth the hassle. Thanks guys

Much better performance shorty than other aftermarket as they have a true 2.5" diameter collector flange.

JBA/BBK/AFE all have 2.125-2.25" collector diameter which won't be a flow upgrade.
