SHORTY HEADER: These components are designed as a system to improve the exhaust efficiency of the Dodge 5.7L Hemi V8 engine.
This system does not require welding for installation and retains all O.E.M. emissions equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void warranty and may result in
poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
Suggested Tools Needed for Installation: This vehicle has some metric fasteners.
❑ 3/8” rachet socket set with extensions and universal swivel sockets metric & S.A.E.
❑ Set of combination wrenches
❑ Jackstands, screwdrivers, pliers, crescent wrench, etc.
❑ Liquid penetrant, (GM #1052627), anti-seize compound (GM #5613695) or available equivalent
❑ Thread locking compound
SPECIAL NOTICE: This Edelbrock Shorty Header has received an Executive Order number (E.O.#) from the California Air Resources
Board (C.A.R.B.) making it legal for street use in all 50 states. To assist you with emission equipment certification, we have included
a silver fan shroud decal to help testing personnel verify that this part is a legal replacement on the vehicle for which it is cataloged.
The adhesive-backed decal should be affixed next to the existing emission and engine specifications decal. Do not cover any part of
your original emission decal.
WARNING: The use of "Thermal Wrap" or any aftermarket coating process will void the warranty on your Edelbrock Shorty
Headers. Those products can cause excessive heat and moisture buildup resulting in corrosion and failure of the system.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When cleaning any ceramic-coated Edelbrock T.E.S., use only soap and warm water. The use of caustic solvents (i.e. gunks, etc.)
will mar or damage the ceramic-coating.
