Construction & Design

This exhaust system is crafted from T409 stainless steel, a value-oriented alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance. The material protects against rust and corrosion in most driving environments, ensuring long-term durability. The tubing is mandrel bent to maintain a consistent diameter through bends, which optimizes exhaust gas flow and minimizes turbulence that can reduce performance.

MBRP’s signature single side exit styling enhances the aggressive and rugged look of Dodge Ram trucks. The robust construction is engineered to withstand the demands of daily driving and heavy-duty use, providing a reliable and long-lasting exhaust solution.

Performance & Sound

By eliminating the restrictive muffler and utilizing a large 4-inch diameter pipe, this turbo-back exhaust system reduces back pressure and improves exhaust scavenging. This results in enhanced horsepower and torque, along with quicker throttle response. The muffler delete design delivers a deep, rich, and mellow exhaust note that is aggressive yet refined, avoiding excessive drone during highway cruising.

Additionally, the improved exhaust flow can contribute to modest fuel efficiency gains, making this system a practical upgrade for performance-minded Dodge Ram owners.
