Short & Long Tube Headers for 2009-2018 Dodge RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7L V8
The Hemi Tick Fix: Upgrading to Stainless Steel Headers
If you hear a ticking sound on cold starts that goes away as the engine warms up, your factory cast-iron manifold has likely warped or cracked—a common failure on 2009-2018 Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7L V8.
The Solution: Flashark Stainless Steel Headers. Unlike stock manifolds, our headers are built to resist warping, eliminate the tick, and unlock the +15-30 HP restricted by your factory exhaust.

💡 Tech Note: High-performance welding may create slight thermal variances on the flange surface. This is standard for stainless headers. We provide extra-thick gaskets to ensure a perfect, leak-free seal when torqued correctly.
