Key Features

Engineered for maximum flow and ease of installation, the BBK Short Mid X Pipe offers several key benefits:

• Constructed from 2.75-inch CNC mandrel bent tubing for smooth exhaust flow and minimal restriction
• Equipped with high flow steel substrate catalytic converters to balance performance and emissions
• Ball and socket style connectors provide simple installation and allow for adjustment to maintain optimal ground clearance
• Designed specifically to pair with BBK Long Tube Headers (part numbers 1647 & 16470) for a complete exhaust upgrade
• Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance under demanding driving conditions
• Precision fitment for a range of 5.7L Hemi vehicles including Dodge Charger, Challenger, Ram trucks, Chrysler 300C, Durango, and Magnum

Construction & Design

The BBK Short Mid X Pipe is crafted from high-quality steel tubing, CNC mandrel bent to maintain consistent diameter and smooth bends that optimize exhaust gas flow. The 2.75-inch diameter tubing strikes a balance between flow capacity and fitment within the vehicle’s undercarriage. Integrated high flow catalytic converters feature a steel substrate designed to reduce emissions without sacrificing performance.

Ball and socket style connectors enhance the installation process by allowing slight adjustments to ensure proper alignment and ground clearance. This thoughtful engineering reduces installation time and potential fitment issues, making it a practical choice for both professional installers and experienced enthusiasts.

Performance & Sound

By improving exhaust scavenging and reducing backpressure, the BBK Short Mid X Pipe helps unlock the natural power potential of your 5.7L Hemi engine. The high flow catalytic converters maintain emissions compliance while allowing a freer exhaust flow, contributing to a more aggressive exhaust note without excessive drone. This results in a balanced performance upgrade that enhances throttle response and engine efficiency.

Installation & Fitment

This mid pipe is designed as a direct fit replacement for the factory mid pipe section when used in conjunction with BBK Long Tube Headers (part numbers 1647 and 16470). Installation requires basic mechanical skills and standard hand tools. The ball and socket connectors simplify alignment and adjustment, helping to achieve proper ground clearance and a secure fit. No major modifications are necessary when installed on the specified vehicles.

Fitment includes the following 5.7L Hemi models:

• 2005–2010 Chrysler 300C
