Construction & Design

The aFe SS Muffler Upgrade Pipe is expertly crafted from 409 stainless steel, a material known for its excellent resistance to heat and corrosion, making it ideal for exhaust components exposed to harsh conditions. The 3-inch mandrel-bent tubing ensures smooth exhaust flow with minimal restriction, preserving engine efficiency and sound quality.

Every weld is completed using 100% MIG welding techniques, providing superior strength and durability that withstands the rigors of daily driving and spirited performance use. The use of factory-style flanges and hangers guarantees a secure fit and maintains the integrity of the vehicle’s exhaust mounting points.

Performance & Sound

This upgrade pipe enhances the exhaust note of the Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi by delivering a deeper, more aggressive tone compared to the stock muffler.
