MBRP MDA36 4" x 36" Aluminized Steel Universal Muffler Delete Pipe Replaces 36"

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - designed to replace any 36-inch overall length muffler on a 4-inch single exhaust system
• Commonly used on: 1998-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 / Ram 3500 (5.9L and 6.7L Cummins) with 4-inch aftermarket exhaust systems running 36-inch mufflers

Fitment Notes

• Measure your existing muffler's overall length before ordering - this pipe replaces mufflers with a 36-inch overall length only
• Designed for 4-inch single exhaust systems - not compatible with 5-inch or dual-outlet muffler delete applications
• Off-road and race use only - not legal for use on public roads; not CARB legal
• Sold individually - one pipe per order
• 2 band clamps included for installation

Features

• Constructed from heavy-duty aluminized steel for corrosion resistance and long-term durability in diesel exhaust environments
• 4-inch inlet and outlet maintain consistent pipe diameter matching a standard 4-inch diesel exhaust system with no reduction or restriction
• Straight-through, muffler-delete design eliminates the factory muffler entirely for maximum exhaust flow and a significantly more aggressive diesel exhaust tone
• 36-inch overall length matches the muffler body dimensions for a direct drop-in fit using the stock hanger locations and existing clamp positions
• Simple installation using common hand tools - no welding required when used with the included band clamps
• Designed specifically for diesel truck applications where maximum exhaust flow and aggressive sound are the priority
• Backed by MBRP's 3-year warranty on aluminized steel products

Product Description

The MBRP MDA36 is a universal 4-inch muffler delete pipe, 36 inches in overall length, built from heavy-duty aluminized steel for diesel truck exhaust applications. It is designed to replace any muffler with a 36-inch overall body length on a 4-inch single exhaust system, dropping into the existing muffler location using the same hanger mounting points and clamp positions. The most common application is the Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 with 4-inch aftermarket exhaust systems and a 36-inch muffler - owners who have already upgraded to a 4-inch aftermarket turbo-back or cat-back and want to eliminate the muffler for maximum flow and volume without replacing the entire system. Measuring the overall length of the existing muffler before ordering is essential, as MBRP offers muffler delete pipes in several lengths to match different muffler dimensions.

The MDA36's straight-through design removes all restriction from the muffler location. Diesel trucks benefit significantly from reduced exhaust backpressure - particularly turbocharged engines like the Cummins, where faster exhaust evacuation allows the turbocharger to spool more quickly and the engine to produce more power with lower exhaust gas temperatures. The increase in sound volume is substantial; diesel engines produce a distinctive character without a muffler that appeals to many diesel enthusiasts, though the result is considerably louder than even a performance muffler. Installation uses the two included band clamps in place of the original muffler's inlet and outlet connections - no welding is required, and the job can typically be completed with basic hand tools.

The MDA36 is built from the same aluminized steel used throughout MBRP's Installer Series exhaust lineup, and carries MBRP's 3-year warranty on aluminized steel products. It is classified as an off-road and race use only component - not legal for use on public roads in emissions-regulated states or jurisdictions. Owners of 5-inch exhaust systems, or those needing a different pipe length, should verify their muffler's overall length and pipe diameter before selecting the appropriate MBRP muffler delete part number. The MDA36 is sold individually and is intended for 4-inch single-exit systems only - a separate part number is required for dual-outlet or 5-inch applications.
