Construction & Design:

The Gibson Aluminized Cat-Back Single Exhaust is crafted from aluminized steel tubing, which offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion while maintaining affordability. The mandrel-bent design ensures smooth bends that preserve exhaust flow, reducing backpressure and improving engine efficiency. The Superflow™ muffler features a baffled and chambered internal structure without traditional packing, which minimizes interior drone and extends muffler life.

Polished stainless steel slash-cut tips provide a clean, aggressive look that complements the rugged styling of Dodge and Ram Dakotas. Factory-style hangers and included hardware ensure the system fits securely and maintains proper alignment under all driving conditions.

Performance & Sound

Engineered for performance, this exhaust system enhances your truck’s low-end torque and horsepower, particularly between 1800 and 3000 RPM, where most daily driving and towing demands occur. The result is improved throttle response, better towing capability, and more confident passing power on the highway.

The muffler’s design delivers an aggressive yet refined exhaust note that is noticeably quieter inside the cab compared to many other performance exhausts. This balance allows you to enjoy a sporty sound without excessive noise fatigue during long drives.
