Construction & Design

The aFe Large Bore-HD exhaust system is crafted from premium 409 stainless steel tubing, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength under high temperatures. The tubing is mandrel bent to ensure smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow, which helps reduce backpressure and improve engine efficiency.

Every component is engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards. The use of OE-style flanges, clamps, and hangers guarantees a precise fit and long-lasting durability. The bayonet hanger system is specifically designed to hold the exhaust securely in place, preventing sagging or misalignment even under the rigors of heavy-duty use.

Performance & Sound

This exhaust system is designed to unlock the full potential of your 6.7L Cummins engine by improving exhaust flow and lowering exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs). The result is increased horsepower and torque, which translates to better towing capability and overall vehicle responsiveness.

The 24-inch free-flowing muffler effectively reduces high-pitched exhaust tones, delivering a deep, aggressive sound that enhances the driving experience without excessive drone. This balance of performance and sound makes it an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want both power and refinement.

Installation & Fitment

The aFe Large Bore-HD exhaust system installs using all factory mounting points, which means no cutting, welding, or modifications are required. The system is designed for a direct bolt-on fit for RAM 2500 and 3500 models from 2007.5 to 2012 with the 6.7L engine, ensuring a straightforward and hassle-free installation process.

OE-style bayonet hangers and clamps simplify alignment and secure the exhaust system firmly in place, maintaining proper clearance and reducing the risk of rattles or vibrations over time.
