Exhaust Kit for Dodge Ram 2500 (2009-2013) 5.7L

High-Flow Dual Muffler-Back Exhaust Kit for 2009-2013 Dodge Ram 2500 (DJ/DH)

What it Does: The dual muffler-back exhaust kit replaces the restrictive factory chambered muffler and single tailpipe on the 2009-2013 Dodge Ram 2500 to reduce exhaust backpressure, improve scavenging, and deliver an aggressive exhaust tone.

The Stock Dodge Ram 2500 Exhaust Restriction

Factory exhaust routing on the DJ/DH platform relies on a heavy, restrictive single-inlet baffled muffler and narrow factory-crush bends. Under heavy towing and high engine loads, this configuration traps excessive thermal energy in the piping, creates turbulent exhaust gas reversion, and chokes volumetric efficiency on the 5.7L HEMI V8.

The Engineering Solution

This kit upgrades the rear exhaust section with a performance-chambered Flowmaster Super 44 muffler featuring a 3.0-inch inlet and dual 2.5-inch outlets to maximize velocity. Fabricated from durable aluminized steel with smooth, mandrel-bent 2.5-inch multi-piece tailpipes, it ensures uniform internal diameter through every radius to eliminate turbulent choke points. The slip-fit pipes route cleanly under the rear chassis parallel to the frame rails, engineered specifically to clear factory receiver hitches, rear leaf hardware, and OEM-diameter spare tires across all wheelbases.

What's Included

• 1 Flowmaster Super 44 muffler (3-inch single inlet, dual 2.5-inch outlets)
• 2 aluminized mandrel-bent multi-piece 2.5-inch slip-fit tail pipes
• 8 exhaust muffler clamps
• 1 large exhaust clamp
• 4 rubber-insulated exhaust hangers
