Construction & Design

The Gibson cat-back exhaust system is constructed from aluminized steel tubing that is mandrel bent to maintain consistent diameter and smooth exhaust flow. This construction reduces backpressure and enhances engine efficiency. The aluminized coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh weather conditions.

The muffler features a baffled, chambered design that balances sound quality and noise reduction. This design minimizes interior drone, allowing for a more comfortable driving experience without sacrificing the aggressive exhaust note that performance enthusiasts appreciate. The polished stainless steel slash-cut tips add a touch of style and durability, resisting rust and discoloration over time.

This cat-back exhaust system is engineered to improve your Dodge Ram’s overall performance by increasing exhaust flow and reducing restrictions. The 3-inch tubing and mandrel bends optimize the exhaust path, resulting in better throttle response and enhanced power delivery during acceleration and towing.
