Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet diameters, offset configuration, and overall length against the existing exhaust before installation. This muffler uses pipe connection ends and is not reversible or tunable, so orientation matters during replacement. Confirm the vehicle build date for 1994-1995 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 applications, since fitment changes before and after 01/03/1994.

Quality Assurance

Walker uses aluminized steel, mechanical interior joints, and spun-locked heads to support durability in exhaust service. The SoundFX Direct Fit design is intended to provide a factory-style replacement for the listed Dodge Ram trucks while maintaining a clean appearance and controlled acoustics.
