One of the most important improvements you can make to your truck is a good exhaust system. Many stock systems are not built for the kind of performance you're looking for, and if you don't adjust this crucial system you'll end up in trouble. Here at DT we've grouped up the many options available for exhaust systems. Take a look; you may find a company that catches your eye.

To provide a leak-free seal, OE-style band clamps are used that offer a 360-degree sealing area instead of using U-bolt clamps.

The exhaust hangers are positioned to directly line up with the factory hooks, ensuring ease of installation with no modifications necessary.The restrictive factory muffler is replaced with a polished-stainless Monster Muffler featuring the Banks designed expansion chamber to dissipate the annoying mid-range exhaust drone associated with some straight-through mufflers.
Monster Muffler utilizes high-temperature, spun ceramic packing. The sound-tested Monster Exhaust produces an authoritative (but never intrusive) deep and throaty tone. To complement the look of the Monster Exhaust, Banks uses Exclusive 5-inch clamp-on tips in your choice of finish-chrome over stainless or high-temp black.
