BBK 4014 Shorty Headers Titanium Ceramic 2009-2018 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L HEMI

BBK 4014 shorty headers are a direct bolt-on performance upgrade for every 2009-2018 Dodge Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8. CNC mandrel-bent from heavy-gauge mild steel tubing, each header flows more exhaust gas than the restrictive factory cast-iron manifolds, translating to a typical gain of 12-15 rear-wheel horsepower and 15-20 ft-lbs of torque. The titanium ceramic coating handles extreme underhood heat cycles and gives the engine bay a clean, finished appearance. BBK 4014 headers feature a one-piece 3/8-inch laser-cut flange for a guaranteed leak-free seal, factory-position oxygen sensor bungs, and large-bore patented collectors that maximize scavenging at all RPM ranges. Every kit ships complete with new OEM-spec gaskets and all required hardware. Manufactured and pressure-tested in the USA.

These headers will NOT fit Ram 2500, Ram 3500, or Mega Cab configurations due to engine mount clearance differences. These are NOT CARB approved and cannot be sold or shipped to California addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do BBK 4014 headers fit a 2014 Ram 1500 with the 5.7L HEMI?
  Yes. BBK 4014 is a direct fit for every 2009 through 2018 Ram 1500 with the 5.7L HEMI V8 in both 2WD and 4WD. This includes 2014 models across all trim levels except Mega Cab.
• Will BBK 4014 fit a Ram 2500 or Ram 3500?
  No. BBK 4014 headers are designed exclusively for the Ram 1500 platform. The Ram 2500 and 3500 use larger engine mounts that create a clearance conflict. BBK makes a separate header part number for those trucks.
• Do I need a tune after installing BBK 4014 headers?
  A tune is not required for the BBK 4014 to bolt on and function, but an aftermarket tune will maximize the power gains and optimize fuel trims for best results.
• How much horsepower do BBK 4014 headers add to a 5.7L HEMI?
  BBK documents a typical gain of 12 to 15 rear-wheel horsepower and 15 to 20 ft-lbs of torque on the 5.7L HEMI when replacing the factory cast-iron manifolds with BBK 4014 shorty headers.
• What is the difference between BBK 4014 and BBK 40140?
  BBK 4014 and BBK 40140 are identical headers in terms of tube diameter, tuned length design, material, and fitment. The only difference is the finish: BBK 4014 is titanium ceramic coated for a dark metallic look, while BBK 40140 features a polished silver ceramic finish.
• Do BBK 4014 headers require header wrap?
  BBK specifically advises against wrapping the 4014 headers. Wrapping traps moisture against the metal, accelerates corrosion, and voids the BBK Performance limited lifetime warranty.
• Will BBK 4014 work with my stock exhaust Y-pipe and catalytic converters?
  Yes. BBK 4014 shorty headers are designed to bolt directly to the factory or aftermarket mid-pipes and Y-pipe, retaining your stock catalytic converters and downstream exhaust components.
• Does BBK 4014 work with a 2019 or newer Ram 1500?
  BBK 4014 fits the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic platform, which carries over the same 5th gen DS body and drivetrain. It does NOT fit the 2019 or newer DT-body Ram 1500 (5th gen redesign). Check your VIN or body style to confirm which platform your truck uses.
• Is there a warranty on BBK 4014 headers?
  Yes. BBK Performance backs the 4014 with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Note: wrapping the headers or using header wrap of any kind voids this warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects your right to use aftermarket parts without voiding your vehicle's factory warranty, provided the aftermarket parts are not the direct cause of a failure.
• Are BBK 4014 headers legal in California?
  No. BBK 4014 headers do not carry a CARB Executive Order number and cannot be sold to California residents or shipped to California addresses. They are not street legal in states that follow CARB emissions standards including New York and Maine.
