1796

Overview:

The BBK Catted Mid Pipes are precision-engineered components designed to complement BBK full-length long tube headers on select 5.7L HEMI-powered Chrysler and Dodge muscle cars from 2005 to 2008. Specifically crafted for the Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Magnum equipped with rear-wheel drive, these mid pipes complete the exhaust system upgrade by connecting the headers to the cat-back exhaust. They offer enhanced exhaust flow and durability, making them an essential upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved performance and sound quality.

These mid pipes are ideal for owners who have installed or plan to install BBK long tube headers (PN 1647 or 16470) and want to ensure a seamless, high-flow connection to their existing or aftermarket cat-back exhaust system. By integrating high-flow catalytic converters, these mid pipes maintain emissions compliance while optimizing exhaust efficiency.

Key Features:

Designed with performance and quality in mind, the BBK Catted Mid Pipes offer the following key features:

• Exclusive compatibility with BBK full-length long tube headers (PN 1647 and 16470)
• Durable 2-3/4" diameter CNC mandrel bent stainless steel tubing for smooth exhaust flow
• High-flow catalytic converters engineered to maximize exhaust throughput while meeting federal EPA standards
• Direct bolt-on installation for easy hookup to factory or aftermarket cat-back exhaust systems
• Not compatible with shorty headers; designed specifically for full-length header setups
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance
• Precision fitment ensures proper alignment and leak-free sealing

Construction & Design:

BBK builds these mid pipes using premium 304-grade stainless steel, known for its excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. The tubing is mandrel bent with CNC precision to maintain consistent diameter throughout the bends, reducing turbulence and backpressure. This careful engineering enhances exhaust scavenging and overall engine efficiency.

The integrated high-flow catalytic converters are designed to balance emissions compliance with performance gains, allowing enthusiasts to upgrade their exhaust system without sacrificing environmental responsibility. The welds are clean and robust, ensuring durability under the demanding conditions of high-performance driving.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward for anyone upgrading to BBK full-length long tube headers on the specified vehicles. The mid pipes bolt directly to the headers and then connect to the existing cat-back exhaust system, requiring no cutting or modification. All necessary hardware is included to facilitate a secure and leak-free installation.

These mid pipes fit the following vehicles equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine and rear-wheel drive:

• 2005–2008 Chrysler 300C
