Key Features

This midpipe kit incorporates advanced design elements to optimize exhaust performance and durability:

• 3" Mid Pipes: Larger diameter tubing enhances exhaust flow, reducing backpressure for better engine efficiency.
• Integrated X-Pipe: Balances exhaust pulses between banks for smoother flow and a refined exhaust tone.
• Flex Joint Design: Absorbs vibrations and thermal expansion, increasing system longevity and reducing stress on components.
• Factory Connection Point: Directly connects to the factory catback exhaust for straightforward installation.
• Mandrel Bent Tubing: Ensures smooth bends without restrictions, maintaining consistent airflow.
• TIG Welded Construction: Precision welds provide superior strength and corrosion resistance.

Construction & Design

Manufactured from premium 304 stainless steel, this midpipe is built to withstand harsh conditions and resist corrosion over time. Each component is mandrel bent to preserve optimal airflow and TIG welded by skilled craftsmen in Streetsboro, Ohio, ensuring a flawless fit and finish. The integrated flex joints allow for natural movement of the exhaust system, reducing fatigue and potential cracking under stress.

The design focuses on durability and performance, making it a reliable upgrade for Ram 1500 owners who demand both longevity and enhanced driving dynamics.

Performance & Sound

The Stainless Works Midpipe X-Pipe improves exhaust scavenging by balancing the flow between the two banks of cylinders. This results in a smoother exhaust pulse, which can lead to increased horsepower and torque as well as a sharper throttle response. Additionally, the integrated X-pipe refines the exhaust note, providing a deeper, more aggressive sound without excessive drone.

Installation & Fitment

This midpipe is designed for a direct bolt-on installation with the factory catback exhaust on 2025–2026 Ram 1500 models equipped with the 3.0L Standard Output engine. It fits Crew Cab models with a 6'4" bed without modification. Minor trimming may be required for Crew Cab models with a 5'7" bed and Quad Cab models with a 6'4" bed. It is not compatible with High Output 3.0L trims including RHO, Limited, Limited Longhorn, and Tungsten.

Installation is straightforward for experienced enthusiasts and professional shops alike, with no special tools required beyond standard exhaust installation equipment.
