Banks Power Monster Exhaust System

2013–2018 RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins Crew Cab Long Bed

Part #: 49797

Overview

The Banks Power Monster Exhaust System is engineered specifically for the 2013 to 2018 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins engine and Crew Cab Long Bed configuration. This high-performance exhaust system replaces the restrictive factory setup with a 5-inch constant-diameter design that starts immediately after the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). By significantly reducing backpressure, the Monster Exhaust allows your Cummins engine to breathe more freely, resulting in improved horsepower and enhanced fuel efficiency.

Designed for diesel enthusiasts who demand both power and durability, this system offers a substantial upgrade over stock exhausts. Whether you’re towing heavy loads, hauling equipment, or simply want to maximize your truck’s performance, the Banks Monster Exhaust delivers reliable gains without sacrificing longevity or sound quality.

Key Features

The Banks Monster Exhaust System combines innovative design with premium materials to optimize exhaust flow and durability. Key features include:

• Constant-diameter 5" mandrel-bent aluminized steel tubing for smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow
• DPF-back design that virtually eliminates backpressure after the Diesel Particulate Filter
• Massive 6.5" x 7.5" ob-round slash-cut exhaust tip for aggressive styling and improved flow
• Choice of two patented exhaust tips: polished chrome-plated stainless steel or high-temp matte black Cerakote finish
• Chrome-plated stainless steel tip engineered to resist heat discoloration and maintain a bright appearance
• Up to 60% greater flow area compared to the stock 4" exhaust outlet
• Designed specifically for RAM 2500/3500 6.7L Cummins Crew Cab Long Bed trucks from 2013 to 2018
• 1-year limited warranty for peace of mind

Construction & Design

The Monster Exhaust System is crafted from premium aluminized steel tubing that is mandrel-bent to maintain a consistent 5-inch diameter throughout. This constant-diameter design ensures minimal turbulence and maximum exhaust flow, which is critical for reducing backpressure and improving engine efficiency. The aluminized steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, extending the life of the system even under harsh road and weather conditions.

The exhaust tips are available in two distinct finishes: a polished chrome-plated stainless steel option that resists heat-induced browning, and a durable Cerakote black finish with a rolled edge for a sleek, stealthy look. Both tip styles are oversized to complement the aggressive performance gains and enhance the truck’s rear appearance.

Performance & Sound

By increasing the exhaust outlet diameter from the stock 4 inches to a full 5 inches, the Banks Monster Exhaust System reduces backpressure significantly. This improvement allows the 6.7L Cummins engine to expel exhaust gases more efficiently, resulting in increased horsepower and better fuel economy. The system’s design also produces a deeper, more commanding exhaust note that enhances the driving experience without being overly loud or intrusive.

Installation & Fitment

The Monster Exhaust System is designed for a direct bolt-on installation on 2013–2018 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins engine and Crew Cab Long Bed configuration. No cutting or welding is required, making installation straightforward for professional mechanics or experienced DIY enthusiasts. The system fits seamlessly with the factory DPF and mounting points, ensuring a secure and reliable fit.

What's Included

• 5" constant-diameter mandrel-bent aluminized steel exhaust tubing
• Choice of one 6.5" x 7.5" ob-round slash-cut exhaust tip (polished chrome or Cerakote black)
