Banks Power Monster Exhaust System

Fits Most Dodge/Ram 6.7L Diesel/5.9L Diesel (10-12)

Part #: 49779

Overview

The Banks Power Monster Exhaust System is engineered specifically for the 2010 to 2012 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine. This DPF-back exhaust system is designed to significantly reduce backpressure compared to the stock setup, improving exhaust flow and allowing your engine to breathe more efficiently. By optimizing exhaust flow, the Monster Exhaust helps unlock additional horsepower and can contribute to improved fuel economy, making it an excellent upgrade for Cummins owners seeking enhanced performance and durability.

Featuring a constant-diameter 5-inch mandrel-bent 409 stainless steel tubing, this system maintains smooth exhaust flow throughout, while the large 6.5" x 7.5" ob-round slash-cut tip adds an aggressive, polished look to your truck’s rear end. Available with either a polished chrome or high-temp matte black Cerakote finish, the Monster Exhaust combines style with long-lasting performance.

Construction & Design

Built from premium 409 stainless steel, the Monster Exhaust System features mandrel-bent tubing that preserves a consistent 5-inch diameter throughout the system. This design minimizes turbulence and restrictions, ensuring smooth and efficient exhaust flow. The use of 409 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability, essential for withstanding harsh road conditions and high exhaust temperatures.

The large ob-round slash-cut tip is crafted from stainless steel and finished with either a polished chrome plating or a high-temperature Cerakote matte black coating. Unlike typical chrome tips that can discolor from heat, Banks’ chrome-plated tip is engineered to maintain its bright, polished appearance even under extreme exhaust temperatures.

Performance & Sound

The Monster Exhaust System significantly reduces backpressure after the diesel particulate filter, allowing the engine to expel exhaust gases more freely. This reduction in backpressure helps the 6.7L Cummins engine produce more horsepower and torque, enhancing overall performance. Additionally, improved exhaust flow can contribute to better fuel efficiency during highway cruising.

While designed primarily for performance, the Monster Exhaust also delivers a deep, aggressive exhaust note that complements the powerful Cummins engine without being overly loud or intrusive. This balance makes it suitable for daily driving as well as towing and heavy-duty applications.

Installation & Fitment

The Banks Monster Exhaust System is a direct-fit, bolt-on upgrade for 2010–2012 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine. It installs easily without the need for cutting, welding, or modifications to the factory exhaust system. The DPF-back design means it replaces the exhaust components downstream of the diesel particulate filter, maintaining compliance with emissions equipment.

Installation can typically be completed with basic hand tools and does not require specialized equipment, making it accessible for professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike.
