2019-2023 Ram 2500 Exhaust Parts Overview
The 2019-2023 Ram 2500 Exhaust part category pertains to all components that comprise the exhaust system of Ram 2500 trucks, manufactured from 2019 to 2023. These components include, but are not limited to, exhaust manifolds, oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, exhaust pipes, mufflers, and exhaust tips.Components of Ram 2500 Exhaust System
Beginning with the exhaust manifold, it is a cast iron or stainless steel component that collects exhaust gases from the engine cylinders and combines them into one pipe. The design and construction of aftermarket exhaust manifolds could enhance exhaust flow efficiency, reduce backpressure, and improve overall engine performance.Oxygen Sensors
The oxygen sensors placed before and after the catalytic converter, monitor the level of oxygen in the exhaust gases. By sending this information to the vehicle's computer system, the vehicle can adjust the air/fuel mixture for optimum fuel efficiency and emissions.Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter plays a significant role in emission control. It contains a honeycomb-like structure coated with catalyst materials: platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The catalytic converter facilitates chemical reactions turning harmful gases into less harmful substances before they exit the exhaust system.Exhaust Pipe
Next, the exhaust pipe carries the gases through the system. Many performance-oriented aftermarket exhaust pipes employ mandrel bends for smoother gas flow. The material used for these pipes can vary, but aluminized steel or stainless steel is typically utilized due to their heat-resistant properties.Muffler
The muffler reduces the noise generated from the exhaust gases expelled under high pressure. Aftermarket mufflers for the 2019-2023 Ram 2500 not only serve to reduce noise but can also enhance performance and deliver a more aggressive, deep, and throaty exhaust note appealing to many truck enthusiasts.Exhaust Tip
Finally, the exhaust tip, while primarily aesthetic in function, could influence the sound character of the exhaust and add a touch of style to the vehicle’s rear appearance.Aftermarket Applications and Compliance
The aftermarket applications of these parts are numerous. From the quest for additional horsepower and torque, improved fuel economy, distinctive exhaust note, to the need for replacement due to damage or aging, the 2019-2023 Ram 2500 Exhaust part category serves a wide array of requirements. Complimentary aftermarket upgrades often performed alongside the installation of a new exhaust system include the installation of a performance-oriented intake system and ECM tuning. An aftermarket intake can provide better airflow to the engine, and the tuning of the Electronic Control Module (ECM) can maximize the full potential of these upgrades by adjusting fuel maps, removing speed/rev limiters, and altering shift points in automatic transmissions. It's important, however, for the owner to ensure these changes comply with local smog laws and regulations as non-compliant modifications could result in hefty fines or even impounding of the vehicle.Fitment Includes:
