09-18 Compatible with/Replacement for Ram DIRECT FIT MUFFLER

Very pleased. Easy to install and loud as hell. It's a 2 person job and relatively 1 to 2 hours. 2 person is mainly there to help guide. Bungee cords to stuff up and grease the rubber holders to easily remove. Didn't even need to lift the truck up. Did improvised with a scissor Jack to press the muffler body off.

I am so impressed with the deep growl of this muffler. My Rebel sounds amazing now and I have noticed a small improvement in responsiveness and power. There is minimal drone for an exhaust that makes a clear statement. Nothing sounds like a HEMI with a great exhaust and Carven delivers. Install is easy and fits right in the place the stock muffler took up.

Love it! Exact fit, light weight, great low rumble! Slips over factory exhaust pipes easily while still being snug, and the clamps provided do a great job sealing it. Install was a bit of a pain due to rust on the factory sleeves but still only took an hour or so from start to finish. Exhaust tone is great, give the 5.7 hemi a nice low tone rumble while making it pretty loud. There is a drone that can be heard inside of the truck, but not as loud as you would expect when you hear it from the outside first. Overall, very happy thus far!

It was super easy to install and sounds really dang good…bout to replace my old flowmaster super 44 and didn’t disappoint one bit

I put the Carven Competitor on a 2012 Ram 1500 Hemi. Muffler is great for that sound you're looking for. Very aggressive. I installed myself. Hardest part was loosening up the stock tailpipes and muffler. The reason I gave four stars is because of the drone you get when the MDS kicks in. I knew there might be some but this was way more than expected. The Progressive may be a better choice if cabin drone could be an issue. I'm not saying it's a bad product. Shipping was fast and the muffler was well made. Edit: Added another photo. Also learned MDS can be turned off manually using +/- on shifter. This helps with the drone issue but gas mileage may suffer. Overall, I'm ok with my purchase.

Shipping was great. It got here a day earlier than originally expected. I installed the Carven Competitor Series on my 2017 RAM R/T. I installed it by myself late Friday afternoon. Took me about 2 and a half hours. Pretty easy over all. I am by no means a mechanic. If you are debating getting this one because you think it will be too loud...dont!! It sounds amazing!!! Buy it now!! You won't regret it.

Just put this on my Ram Rebel and it sounds amazing. No drone and at highway speeds you can barely hear it but when you hit the throttle she barks. Install took about 15 minutes taking off the factory muffler took awhile though maybe 30 mins. I'm very happy with this purchase. Thanks Carven for a beautifully made muffler replacement.

The media could not be loaded. Love the exhaust was super easy to install once I got the old muffler on a new to me 2016 Ram Rebel. I would recommend doing this in a newer truck or one that doesn’t see salt. The bolts were completely rusted round on the oem exhaust clamps so I had to take them off with an angle grinder and the surface rust made the pipes ridiculously hard to get out even with tons of persuasion and penetrating lube. Took around 2 hrs to get old one out and 30 mins to get new one in.Only other issue is that with one of the clamps that is included they say to torque to 65 lbs which I did fine with 2 of them but on the 3rd while torquing to spec it snapped on me and I had to go out and buy a new clamp.
