Construction & Design:
The system is crafted from T409 stainless steel, a value-oriented alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance. This material protects against penetrating rust, making it suitable for most driving environments except extreme winter conditions with heavy salt exposure. The tubing is mandrel bent to maintain consistent diameter through bends, ensuring optimal exhaust gas flow and reducing turbulence that can hinder performance.
MBRP’s signature styling is evident in the clean, single side exit design that complements the rugged appearance of Dodge Ram trucks. The system’s robust construction is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily driving and heavy-duty use, providing both reliability and longevity.
Performance & Sound
By eliminating restrictive mufflers and utilizing a large 4-inch diameter pipe, this turbo back exhaust system reduces back pressure and enhances exhaust scavenging. The result is improved horsepower and torque, along with quicker throttle response. The muffler delete design produces a deep, rich, and mellow exhaust note that stands out without being overly aggressive or drone-prone.
Additionally, the improved exhaust flow can contribute to modest gains in fuel efficiency, making this system a practical upgrade for performance-minded truck owners.
