FAQ
Will this fit my truck if I currently have a 5" muffler?If your system uses 5" in/out with ~31" overall muffler length, this bypass is designed to replace it. Check the exclusions listed above.
What’s the difference between MDS9531 and MDA531?
MDS9531 is T409 stainless (Armor Plus / XP) with a lifetime warranty on material/workmanship. MDA531 is aluminized steel (Installer / Armor Lite) with a 3-year warranty.
Will this make my truck louder?
Yes. Replacing the muffler with a straight section increases volume and gives a more aggressive exhaust note.
Do I need extra clamps or adapters?
Most 5" systems can reuse existing clamps. If your setup differs, you may need appropriate 5" band clamps or adapters.
Is tuning required after installing a muffler bypass?
No tuning is typically required for a muffler bypass swap in a diesel cat-back/downpipe-back system.
