Construction & Design

The aFe Exhaust System is crafted from premium 409 stainless steel tubing, mandrel-bent to maintain consistent diameter and maximize exhaust gas velocity. This material choice balances corrosion resistance with strength, ensuring the system withstands the rigors of daily driving and harsh environments. The dual-exit design not only enhances exhaust flow but also adds a bold visual statement to the rear of the vehicle.

The muffler is engineered to absorb unwanted high-frequency sounds, delivering a rich and aggressive tone without excessive drone. The dual 304 stainless steel tips are double-walled for durability and heat resistance, available in finishes that complement a variety of aesthetic preferences.

Performance & Sound

By increasing exhaust flow by approximately 130%, the aFe Exhaust System reduces backpressure and improves the efficiency of exhaust gas evacuation. This translates into noticeable gains in horsepower and torque, enhancing throttle response and overall engine performance. The system’s muffler design produces a deep, aggressive exhaust note that commands attention without overwhelming cabin comfort, striking a balance between performance and daily drivability.

Installation & Fitment

This exhaust system is designed exclusively for dual-exit exhaust configurations on 2009–2013 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks with the 5.7L Hemi engine. It will not fit vehicles originally equipped with a single factory exhaust. Installation is straightforward and requires no cutting or welding, utilizing all factory mounting points and OE-style bayonet hangers for a secure fit. Band clamps and OE-style flanges provide a leak-free seal, making this a hassle-free bolt-on upgrade for experienced installers and enthusiasts alike.
