RAM trucks are built for serious power, towing capability, and aggressive performance. Upgrading to a performance header system and pairing it with a cat-back exhaust system improves horsepower, torque, throttle response, and delivers the deep aggressive exhaust sound RAM truck enthusiasts expect.
Stainless Works designs premium performance headers and exhaust systems specifically for RAM trucks, engineered to maximize exhaust flow while maintaining durability and reliability for daily driving, towing, and high-performance builds.
Stainless Works performance systems are engineered specifically for modern RAM trucks including the 2009–2019 RAM 1500 Classic, 2019–2024 RAM 1500, 2025–2026 RAM 1500, and the high-performance 2021–2024 RAM TRX.
Our exhaust systems and headers are built from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel and precision TIG welded for durability. Long tube headers feature mandrel-bent primary tubes and optimized collectors designed to improve airflow, increase horsepower, and enhance throttle response on HEMI-powered trucks.
Owners of the 2009–2019 RAM 1500 Classic can upgrade with a RAM 1500 cat-back exhaust system or install long tube headers for the 2009–2019 RAM 1500 to improve airflow and unlock additional HEMI V8 performance.
The newer 2019–2024 RAM 1500 platform also benefits from upgrades like performance exhaust systems for the 2019 RAM 1500 and long tube headers for the 2019 RAM 1500, helping improve exhaust flow and deliver stronger performance from the legendary 5.7L HEMI V8 engine.
For the latest generation 2025–2026 RAM trucks, Stainless Works offers upgrades including high-performance downpipes for the 2025 RAM 1500 designed to support the new turbocharged Hurricane engine platform.
The high-performance RAM TRX features a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 producing over 700 horsepower. Stainless Works offers upgrades including RAM TRX long tube headers and a RAM TRX cat-back exhaust system to unleash the full sound and power of this extreme performance truck.
Every Stainless Works exhaust and header system is proudly Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty on materials and craftsmanship.
Do headers increase horsepower on a RAM 1500?
Yes. Long tube headers improve exhaust scavenging and airflow, helping increase horsepower and torque. Many RAM owners see noticeable power gains when headers are paired with a performance cat-back exhaust system.
Which RAM engines benefit most from headers?
The 5.7L HEMI V8 found in many RAM 1500 trucks responds very well to performance headers and exhaust upgrades. The supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 in the RAM TRX also benefits from improved exhaust flow.
What does a cat-back exhaust upgrade do for a RAM truck?
A cat-back exhaust system replaces the factory piping and muffler after the catalytic converters. This improves exhaust flow, enhances throttle response, and produces a deeper, more aggressive exhaust sound.
Are Stainless Works exhaust systems made in the USA?
Yes. Stainless Works headers and exhaust systems are manufactured in Streetsboro, Ohio using premium 304 stainless steel and precision welding.
