Borla Touring Cat-Back Exhaust System with 5-Inch Black Chrome Tips (140552BC) - 2009-2024 Ram 1500 5.7L V8
Wake up the high-performance spirit of your truck with the high-impact Borla Touring Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for 2009 to 2024 Ram 1500 models, this premium full-length exhaust upgrade introduces Borla's legendary acoustic profile: the mellow Touring sound level. Formulated explicitly for driving enthusiasts and truck purists who crave an upgraded, sport-tuned exhaust note under acceleration without overwhelming volume, this system is calibrated to give the legendary 5.7L HEMI V8 engine a bold, crisp, and high-impact growl. This configuration delivers a commanding exterior acoustic presence while relying on advanced straight-through internals backed by Borla's official No-Drone Guarantee to keep the cabin completely comfortable and drone-free during highway cruising, daily towing, or heavy work commutes.
The internal engineering of the Borla 140552BC targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency performance layout featuring a 3-inch inlet diameter that transitions smoothly into dual 2.5-inch exit pipes out of the muffler body. This performance architecture utilizes ultra-smooth mandrel-bent performance tubing and patented multi-core internal geometry that maximizes exhaust velocity and optimizes scavenging to unlock hidden horsepower, sharper throttle response, and enhanced fuel economy across the entire powerband. Designed to route flawlessly along the undercarriage, it leaves plenty of extra clearance for daily hauling and is tailored to match multiple factory wheelbase configurations. Built completely from premium-grade, aircraft-quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel, this highly durable cat-back assembly defends permanently against structural degradation, intense under-car heat cycling, and severe corrosion. The spent exhaust gases route through a convenient through-bumper setup that lines up cleanly with your factory bumper cutouts, finishing with a massive truck single split rear exit configuration detailed with premium black chrome visual styling on dual 5-inch round, rolled edge angle-cut T-304 stainless steel tips. Precision CNC-manufactured for an accurate line-to-line bolt-on fitment, this system utilizes all factory mounting positions and is backed by Borla’s legendary lifetime Million-Mile Warranty.
Chassis & Configuration Notes: This performance cat-back system is engineered specifically for 2-wheel drive (2WD) and 4-wheel drive (4WD) trucks equipped with factory bumper notches. It supports multiple body setups including Regular Cab models with a 6-foot 4-inch Standard Bed (120.5-inch wheelbase), Extended Cab models with a 6-foot 4-inch Standard Bed (140.5-inch wheelbase), and Crew Cab models with a 5-foot 7-inch Short Bed (140.5-inch wheelbase). For 2019 to 2024 model years, this system fits the Ram 1500 Classic platform ONLY; it is not compatible with next-generation Ram 1500 body styles.
