The Exhaust Systems Australia RAM-1500-DS-5-7L-CAT-BACK-EXHAUST-SYSTEM is the plain, non-valved cat-back for the RAM 1500 DS with the 5.7L HEMI V8. It's the straightforward rear-section option in the DS range, listed as a special-order item at $1,950.

What kind of cat-back is this one?

This is the fixed, non-valved cat-back for the DS 1500 5.7L — the simpler sibling to the Varex valved version in the same range, which adds a switchable muffler at a higher price. A cat-back changes the run from behind the catalytic converter to the tips, so the cat and the engine-side pipework stay factory. Material and muffler configuration aren't published for this listing, so we confirm those against the kit rather than quote a spec we can't trace.

Will it suit my RAM 1500 DS?

It's listed to fit the RAM 1500 DS with the 5.7L HEMI — the truck Dodge has run this HEMI under across these generations. Because it's a special-order item, the build check comes first: send your exact DS year and trim and we'll confirm the listing matches before anything is ordered. Fitment feed data can be imperfect, so we treat it as listed-to-fit rather than guaranteed.

What does a cat-back change on the 5.7L?

Swapping the rear section reshapes flow and note from the catalytic converter back while the emissions hardware up front stays in place — the milder of the common changes on a HEMI. Without the Varex valve, this listing runs a single fixed note rather than a switchable one. We don't quote a sound level, as none is published for this part; the workshop can talk you through what to expect on a 5.7L.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits cat-back systems in-house across the Illawarra. We check the listed fitment against your RAM, confirm the pipework clears the underbody and rear axle, and book the bay. The recommended retail price is $1,950; as a special order, we'll confirm lead time when you book. Send your details and we'll confirm the build first.

Common questions

Is this the valved or non-valved RAM cat-back?
This is the non-valved version for the RAM 1500 DS 5.7L. A Varex valved cat-back is listed separately at a higher price if you want a switchable note.
Does it keep the catalytic converter?
Yes — it's a cat-back, so it replaces the exhaust from behind the catalytic converter and leaves the factory cat and front pipework in place.
What does it cost and is it in stock?
The recommended retail price is $1,950. It's a special-order item, so we order it in for your booking — ask the Illawarra workshop for current lead time.
