Required & Recommended Supporting Parts2 required1 strongly recommended2 tips

ConflictMid-Pipe — Long tube headers require a catted or off-road mid-pipe to complete the exhaust path.
+1 similar reason
- Long tube header collectors sit further back than stock manifolds. The factory mid-pipe will not bolt up — an aftermarket mid-pipe sized for the headers is required.
RequiredO2 Sensors — Long tube headers relocate O2 sensors and may require extensions or new sensors.
Needs: O2 Sensors

Strongly RecommendedECU Tuner / Programmer — Long tube headers change exhaust flow and may require a tune to prevent check engine lights.
+1 similar reason
- Headers change exhaust flow and may require a tune to prevent lean conditions and optimize performance.
SuggestedECU Tune — Long tube headers benefit significantly from a custom tune to capture the full power gain and avoid O2 fault codes.

What Does This Do?
The JBA 1-7/8-Inch Long Tube Headers are designed to improve your Dodge Challenger's performance by allowing exhaust gases to flow more freely, which can increase power and torque. They also enhance the sound of your V8 engine, giving it a deeper, more aggressive tone. Who it's for: This product is ideal for car enthusiasts looking to boost performance and sound for their weekend track builds or daily drivers. Trade-offs: Installing these headers may lead to a louder cabin noise and will require a compatible mid-pipe to maintain proper emissions since they delete the factory catalytic converters.
Why Install This?
Benefits
- Headers are one of the best power-per-dollar exhaust upgrades
- Long tubes offer more power but are harder to install; shorty headers are easier but give less gain
- Moderate install — doable in a home garage with some mechanical experience
Things to Know
- Long tube headers typically require a tune for best results
- May affect emissions compliance depending on your state
