Product Description

The BBK 40470 Shorty Headers are performance-engineered to unlock additional horsepower and torque from GM's 5.3L and 6.2L V8 engines found in 2014–2018 Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac 1500-series trucks and SUVs. These headers replace restrictive stock manifolds with high-flow, mandrel-bent 1-3/4" tubing to improve exhaust scavenging and engine responsiveness.

Coated in a polished silver ceramic finish, these headers not only look great but also resist heat buildup under the hood. Each set includes thick laser-cut flanges for secure sealing and is dyno-proven to deliver gains of up to 12 horsepower. Designed for a direct fit with factory components, BBK 40470 headers install easily and are compatible with OEM or aftermarket cat-back systems.

Whether you're upgrading for daily driving, towing, or performance, BBK’s American-made shorty headers offer a cost-effective and reliable exhaust enhancement. Note: These headers are not CARB certified and are not legal for use on emissions-controlled vehicles in California.
