Exhaust Kit for Dodge Ram 1500 Ram 2500 (1994-1997) 5.2L 5.9L

High-Flow Dual Muffler-Back Exhaust Kit for 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500 (BR/BE)

What it Does: The dual muffler-back exhaust kit replaces the restrictive factory muffler and single tailpipe on 1994-1997 Dodge Ram trucks to reduce exhaust backpressure and enhance exhaust gas scavenging.

The Stock Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500 Restrictive Exhaust Flow

Factory exhaust routing on second-generation BR/BE chassis trucks relies on a restrictive, reverse-flow chambered muffler paired with crush-bent single tubing. This design creates parasitic backpressure and traps heat downstream of the catalytic converter, choking flow dynamics on both the 5.2L Magnum (318 cid) and 5.9L Magnum (360 cid) V8 engines under towing loads.

The Engineering Solution

This dual muffler-back system implements a two-chamber Flowsound performance muffler featuring a high-velocity 3-inch single inlet splitting into dual 2.5-inch outlets. The kit uses 2.5-inch mandrel-bent aluminized steel tailpipes that maintain consistent cross-sectional diameter around the rear axle, preventing flow bottlenecks. Tailpipes route parallel to the frame rails, engineered specifically to preserve clearance around the factory spare tire and OEM receiver hitch.

What's Included

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

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the BR/BE Ram 1500, Ram 2500?

Yes, this fits 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2500 trucks equipped with 5.2L or 5.9L Magnum gasoline engines; it does not fit diesel applications or factory dual-inlet configurations.

Is this exhaust system a direct bolt-on installation?

No, this kit is not a direct bolt-on replacement and an experienced technician may need to fabricate intermediate extensions depending on cab and bed wheelbase configuration.
