Built to meet the demands of heavy-duty applications, this exhaust system is perfect for RAM owners looking to upgrade their exhaust setup with a high-quality, factory-style replacement that maintains OEM mounting points and fitment.
Key Features
The aFe Atlas DPF-Back Exhaust combines thoughtful engineering with durable materials to provide a reliable upgrade for your RAM 2500/3500. Key features include:
- 5-inch mandrel-bent aluminized steel tubing for optimal exhaust flow and corrosion resistance
- Smooth transition bends designed to minimize turbulence and maximize horsepower and torque
- High-quality band clamps for secure, leak-free connections
- OE-style bayonet hangers that utilize all factory mounting locations for a hassle-free installation
- DPF-back design that replaces the section of exhaust downstream of the diesel particulate filter
- Engineered to lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) for improved engine efficiency and longevity
- Manufactured in aFe’s Corona, California facility ensuring consistent quality and craftsmanship
Construction & Design
The Atlas exhaust system is constructed from 5-inch aluminized steel tubing, chosen for its excellent resistance to rust and corrosion in harsh environments. The mandrel-bent tubing maintains a consistent diameter throughout bends, preventing restrictions and promoting smooth exhaust gas flow. This design reduces backpressure and helps to improve engine performance and efficiency.
Attention to detail is evident in the use of OE-style bayonet hangers and premium band clamps, which ensure a secure fit and easy installation while maintaining factory mounting points. The aluminized steel finish provides long-lasting durability and a clean appearance without the higher cost of stainless steel.
Performance & Sound
The Atlas DPF-Back exhaust system is engineered to enhance your RAM’s performance by improving exhaust flow and reducing backpressure. This results in increased horsepower and torque, as well as lower exhaust gas temperatures, which can contribute to better engine health and efficiency over time. The smooth transition bends minimize turbulence, allowing the engine to breathe more freely.
While designed primarily for performance and durability, the exhaust also delivers a refined, aggressive tone that complements the robust character of the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine without being overly loud or intrusive.
Installation & Fitment
This exhaust system is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory DPF-back section on 2013–2018 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L engine. It uses all original factory mounting points and hardware locations, allowing for a straightforward, hassle-free installation with no cutting, welding, or modifications required. The included high-quality band clamps ensure a tight, secure fit.
Installation can typically be completed with basic hand tools and does not require specialized equipment, making it accessible for both professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
