Mopar Exhaust for Off-Road Ram 1500
Recommended Reading: Mopar Launches Ram Runner Kits for Ram 1500
Everyone knows about the Ford F150 SVT Raptor – arguably one of the coolest production trucks ever made. It’s a dedicated off-road truck that’s available to regular old consumers like you and me for a reasonably fair price (figure $35k – $45k).
While there’s probably only room for one truck manufacturer to build a dedicated off-road package, that doesn’t mean that Ram 1500 owners can’t get in on the action. Mopar – Chrysler’s dedicated vehicle accessories division – is offering something called a “Ram Runner” kit for late-model Rams that includes a massive long-travel suspension upgrade, a slew of suspension enhancements, wheels and tires, etc.
However, one thing that Mopar doesn’t include in the Ram Runner kit is an upgraded exhaust system. Since so many truck owners like to buy their own system, it makes sense that Mopar doesn’t include a setup in the Ram Runner kit.
Still, there are some people who prefer to buy factory-backed exhaust components. Factory-backed accessories (like Mopar or TRD) often come with excellent warranty policies, and they’re usually subjected to the same quality tests that “regular” parts are subjected to as well.
The bottom line is that Mopar parts for the Ram 1500 are good quality, so a Mopar exhaust system (like the one below) is a good investment.
Mopar offers performance exhaust systems for almost all Chrysler vehicle brands - visit Mopar.com for more info.
