What Does This Do?
BBK Performance 1-3/4-Inch Tuned Length Shorty Headers are aftermarket exhaust parts that replace your car's stock exhaust manifolds to improve airflow, which can increase horsepower and torque for your 2022 Dodge Challenger. Who it's for: This product is ideal for those looking to enhance the performance of their daily driver or weekend car without needing extensive modifications. Trade-offs: While these headers can boost performance, they may result in a louder cabin noise and are not legal for use in California or similar states due to emissions regulations.
Why Install This?
Benefits
- Noticeable power improvement you'll feel in daily driving and pulls
- 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

- May affect emissions compliance depending on your state
