Product Description

The JBA 1822S-3JS Shorty Headers are designed as a direct performance upgrade for 1988-1993 Chevrolet C/K trucks equipped with the 7.4L (454 SS) V8 engine. These Cat4Ward shorty headers replace the restrictive factory manifolds with precision-mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing that improves exhaust flow and scavenging across the powerband. The proprietary Firecone® merge collector enhances midrange torque and horsepower gains while fitting neatly within the stock engine bay.

Finished with a silver ceramic coating to help manage under-hood temperatures and resist corrosion, the 1822S-3JS headers come with all necessary hardware and gaskets for a complete installation. Extra-thick machined flanges maintain integrity under heat, and the 50-state CARB exempt status (where applicable) ensures legal use on many emissions-controlled vehicles. Ideal for classic Chevy truck enthusiasts seeking a bolt-on performance exhaust upgrade with enhanced throttle response, improved airflow, and robust construction.
