Exhaust Kit for Dodge Ram 1500 (1994-1997) 3.9L

High-Flow Dual Muffler-Back Exhaust Kit for 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 1500 (BR/BE)

What it Does: The Dual Muffler-Back Exhaust Kit replaces the restrictive factory single-outlet muffler and tailpipe on the 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 1500 to reduce exhaust backpressure, improve scavenging efficiency, and increase exhaust gas velocity.

The Stock Dodge Ram 1500 Flow Restriction

Factory exhaust routing on the second-generation BR/BE chassis paired with the 3.9L Magnum V6 relies on an overly baffled, restrictive single-inlet/single-outlet muffler and press-bent tubing. OEM crush bends cause internal cross-sectional diameter collapse, creating adverse turbulence, excessive backpressure, and parasitic pumping losses that rob the low-displacement V6 of exhaust scavenging efficiency under load.

The Engineering Solution

This dual muffler-back configuration upgrades the exhaust path with a Flowsound 2-chamber chambered performance muffler featuring a single 3-inch inlet splitting into dual 2.5-inch outlets. The system utilizes mandrel-bent 2.5-inch aluminized steel tailpipes that maintain uniform cross-sectional geometry through every bend radius to maximize mass flow rates. Designed to exit parallel to the frame rails beneath the rear bumper, the slip-together piping is routed specifically to clear the OEM receiver hitch and standard factory spare tire across all wheelbase configurations.

What's Included

• 1 Flowsound 2-chamber muffler (single 3" inlet, dual 2.5" outlets)
• 2 aluminized mandrel-bent two-piece 2.5" tail pipes (slip-together)
• 8 muffler clamps
• 1 larger exhaust clamp
• 4 rubber-insulated hangers

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the BR/BE Ram 1500?

Yes, this is a direct fit for the 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 1500 equipped with the 3.9L Magnum V6 engine. Excludes any trucks equipped with factory dual-inlet mufflers; forward intermediate piping, catalytic converters, and exhaust tips are not included.

Is this exhaust system a direct bolt-on installation?

No, this is not a direct bolt-on system; an experienced installer may need to cut or fabricate custom intermediate sections to mate to your vehicle's existing piping, and aftermarket suspension or oversized spare tires may alter clearance.
