Maximum Flow, Full Emissions Compliance: Long Tube Power Without the Compromise
The Kooks 3520H420 1-7/8-inch long tube headers and GREEN catted Y-pipe kit provides the complete bolt-on exhaust upgrade for 2019 and 2024 Ram 1500 trucks with the 5.7L HEMI V8 and 144.6-inch wheelbase, replacing factory manifolds to deliver dyno-proven gains of 50 and 65 rear-wheel horsepower and 45 and 60 lb-ft of torque through equal-length primaries, merged collectors, and a high-flow 3-inch to OEM outlet GREEN catted Y-pipe that connects directly to the stock mid-section for unrestricted exhaust flow from low-end torque to high-RPM pulls.
Handcrafted from T304 aircraft-quality stainless steel with 3/8-inch laser-cut flanges, full TIG welds, and 400-cell metallic substrate GREEN catalytic converters, this system supports up to 750 HP while maintaining 49-state emissions compliance and improving throttle response for quicker acceleration during towing up to 12,750 lbs or daily highway passing. The precision design preserves ground clearance and heat management for work-ready Ram 1500s without sacrificing the deep V8 rumble that enhances cabin experience.
For Ram 1500 5.7L owners with 144.6-inch wheelbase seeking immediate power and torque improvements with durable, emissions-legal construction, the 3520H420 kit unlocks the HEMI's full potential for job sites, trails, or performance driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Does this fit my 2022 Ram 1500 Rebel with 5.7L?
A: Yes, direct bolt-on for 144.6-inch wheelbase models -
Q: Will it cause a check engine light?
A: No, GREEN cats and extensions maintain proper O2 sensor function -
Q: What power gains can I expect?
A: 50 and 65 RWHP and 45 and 60 RWTQ on stock tune, more with ECU optimization -
Do Kooks headers require a tune after installation?
Yes. A professional tune is strongly recommended after installing long tube headers. The significant improvement in exhaust flow changes air fuel ratios and requires ECM recalibration to achieve optimal power output and safe operation. -
Will these headers void my factory powertrain warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void your vehicle warranty simply because you installed an aftermarket part unless they prove the component directly caused the failure. Consult your dealer for specifics on your situation. -
