Key Features

This exhaust system incorporates advanced engineering and premium materials to ensure top-tier performance and durability. Key features include:

• Mandrel bent 4-inch 409 stainless steel tubing for maximum exhaust flow and strength
• DPF-back design that retains factory mounting points for easy, bolt-on installation
• High-quality OE-style flange and band clamps providing a complete 360-degree sealing surface
• Free-flowing 24-inch long muffler engineered to absorb high-pitched tones and produce a powerful exhaust note
• OE-style bayonet hangers that maintain pipe stability under high vibration and heat conditions
• Polished stainless steel tip for a clean, professional appearance
• Designed to lower exhaust gas temperatures, enhancing engine efficiency and longevity

Construction & Design

The aFe Large Bore-HD exhaust system is constructed from mandrel bent 409 stainless steel tubing, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. The 4-inch tubing diameter optimizes exhaust flow, reducing backpressure and improving engine breathing. The system uses OE-style flanges and clamps to ensure a secure, leak-free connection throughout the exhaust path.

Special attention is given to the mounting hardware and hangers, utilizing OE-style bayonet hangers that securely hold the exhaust in place even under the high vibration and heat typical of heavy-duty diesel applications. The polished stainless steel tip not only enhances the visual appeal but also resists discoloration and corrosion over time.

Performance & Sound

This exhaust system is designed to unleash the full potential of your 6.7L Cummins engine by increasing horsepower and torque through improved exhaust flow. The free-flowing muffler reduces restrictive backpressure while absorbing unwanted high-frequency tones, resulting in a deep, aggressive exhaust sound that commands attention without excessive drone. Additionally, the system helps lower exhaust gas temperatures, which can contribute to improved engine efficiency and durability during heavy towing or extended operation.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Large Bore-HD exhaust system is engineered for a direct bolt-on installation using all factory mounting locations. This ensures a hassle-free fitment process with no need for cutting, welding, or modifications. The system is designed specifically for 2007.5 to 2012 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L engine, guaranteeing precise compatibility and a secure fit that maintains factory ground clearance and alignment.
