Banks Power Monster Exhaust System

2013–2018 RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins Crew Cab Short Bed

Part #: 49777

Overview

The Banks Monster Exhaust System is engineered specifically for the 2013–2018 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine and Crew Cab Short Bed configuration. This 5-inch DPF-back exhaust system is designed to significantly reduce backpressure after the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), allowing your Cummins engine to breathe more freely and produce increased horsepower and improved fuel efficiency. Featuring a constant-diameter 5-inch mandrel-bent 409 stainless steel tubing, the Monster Exhaust delivers superior flow compared to the stock 4-inch exhaust, making it an ideal upgrade for diesel enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance without sacrificing durability.

Available with two distinct exhaust tip finishes—a polished chrome-plated stainless steel tip or a high-temperature Cerakote black tip—this system not only improves performance but also adds a bold, aggressive look to your RAM’s rear end. The chrome tip is specially treated to resist heat discoloration, maintaining its showroom shine even under extreme conditions.

Construction & Design

The Monster Exhaust System is constructed from premium 409 stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. The tubing is mandrel-bent to maintain a consistent 5-inch diameter throughout the system, ensuring smooth exhaust flow without restrictions or turbulence. This design minimizes backpressure and maximizes the engine’s ability to expel exhaust gases efficiently.

The exhaust tips are crafted with precision and attention to detail. The chrome-plated stainless steel tip undergoes a special heat-resistant treatment to prevent the common issue of heat discoloration, while the Cerakote black tip offers a rugged, matte finish that withstands high temperatures and adds a stealthy aesthetic to your truck’s rear.

Performance & Sound

By virtually eliminating backpressure after the DPF, the Banks Monster Exhaust System allows the 6.7L Cummins engine to operate more efficiently, resulting in increased horsepower and improved fuel economy. The larger 5-inch diameter tubing and oversized exhaust tip enhance exhaust flow, reducing engine strain and promoting better throttle response.

The system produces a deep, aggressive exhaust note that complements the powerful Cummins engine without being overly loud or intrusive. This balanced sound profile appeals to enthusiasts who want a performance upgrade with a refined yet commanding tone.
