BBK Short Mid Pipes with Catalytic Converters (Front & Rear)

2009–2023 Dodge Challenger, Charger & Chrysler 300 5.7L VVT HEMI

Part #: 40461

Overview

The BBK Short Mid Pipes with Catalytic Converters are engineered specifically for the 2009 to 2023 Dodge Challenger, Charger, and Chrysler 300 equipped with the 5.7L VVT HEMI engine. Designed to complement BBK’s long tube headers, these mid pipes provide a seamless connection to your factory exhaust system, whether retaining the resonator box or opting for a resonator delete X pipe setup. This upgrade is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved exhaust flow, enhanced performance, and a refined exhaust tone without sacrificing emissions compliance.

Built to deliver reliable performance and durability, these mid pipes are a critical component for completing your BBK long tube header installation. They offer a direct fit solution that maintains factory-style mounting points and exhaust routing, ensuring a hassle-free upgrade experience.

Key Features

BBK’s short mid pipes combine precision engineering with quality materials to optimize exhaust flow and vehicle performance. Key features include:

• CNC mandrel bent 3.0-inch tubing for smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow
• Integrated high-flow catalytic converters to meet emissions requirements
• Merged step-down design for perfect fitment to the factory exhaust system
• Specifically designed for use with BBK CNC series long tube headers
• Durable construction to withstand high temperatures and prolonged use
• Direct bolt-on installation with factory mounting points
• Compatible with factory resonator box or resonator delete X pipe configurations
• Enhances exhaust scavenging and overall engine efficiency

Construction & Design

Crafted from premium-grade stainless steel tubing, the BBK short mid pipes feature CNC mandrel bending to ensure consistent diameter and smooth bends that minimize turbulence and backpressure. The 3.0-inch tubing diameter is optimized for increased exhaust flow compared to factory pipes, supporting improved engine breathing and performance gains.

High-flow catalytic converters are integrated into the mid pipes to maintain emissions compliance while allowing freer flow than stock converters. The merged step-down design allows these pipes to seamlessly connect to the factory exhaust system without requiring extensive modifications, preserving the vehicle’s original exhaust routing and fitment.

Performance & Sound

When paired with BBK long tube headers, these mid pipes contribute to a noticeable improvement in exhaust flow, which can enhance throttle response and overall engine efficiency. The high-flow cats help reduce restrictions, allowing the engine to breathe more freely while maintaining a clean emissions profile. Expect a more aggressive exhaust note that remains refined and suitable for daily driving.

Installation & Fitment

These mid pipes are designed for direct bolt-on installation with BBK long tube headers on 2009–2023 Dodge Challenger, Charger, and Chrysler 300 models equipped with the 5.7L VVT HEMI engine. Installation requires removal of the factory mid pipes and connection to the factory resonator box or resonator delete X pipe.

Note that if you are using the factory 2-3/4 inch cat-back exhaust system, a small reducer will be necessary to step down from the 3-inch BBK mid pipe to the factory cat-back diameter. This reducer can be purchased separately or custom welded for a seamless fit.
