This particular install is the Magnaflow after-cat system for a Hemi-powered 2003 Dodge Ram 2500. The system is mandrel-bent, fully welded, and has been dyno-tested and proven to make power. It has a smooth, deep tone and a lifetime warranty. The owner of this rig had the team at Attitude Performance in Arlington Heights, Illinois, complete the install on their lift, and it took them about an hour from start to finish.

Magnaflow recommends that after the tailpipes are installed the entire system be adjusted to ensure proper clearance. The system is then completely tightened before the chrome exhaust tips are installed. This helps to avoid scratching the tips. With that, the install is done and all that is left is to inspect all fasteners after 25 to 50 miles of operation to ensure that they are all tight.4.
