Crew Cab Standard Bed

[Ulises1775]

Back again with another predicament. I own a 2017 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with a standard bed. I want to replace my manifolds with JBA shorty headers and while I was at it install a Borla S type catback exhaust, well come to find out, Borla doesn't make catback exhaust for crew cab standard beds. What are my options?

On another note do you folks recommend I wait til my camshaft starts giving me issues (assuming it will) or should I replace it with one from Moes Performance?

I imagine the S-Type will fit as well.

I saw another member recently installed a cat back for the short bed and it fit perfect on his 6'4. Might be that the cat is back further in the longer beds so the parts are the same from the cat back. When he called the manufacturers they said they didn't have a kit that fit and he ordered the 5'7 box one planning to modify as required, but required no mods to fit.

If you know somebody with the shorter chassis maybe take a look at the routing and distance from cat to tip of the exhaust to compare. Mine is the same as yours so I'm no help there.

The difference is in the pipes ahead of the muffler. Everything from the inlet of the muffler to the tips is the same between the different cab and bed lengths.

So the cat to the muffler is where they make up the 8"?

Yes, I'm 99% sure there is no difference in the tailpipes. The extra length in bed size is made up before the axle, so no need to change tailpipes between frame lengths. So technically, any exhaust system that replaces the exhaust from the muffler back should work on any bed/frame length.

My question was more if it's made up between the y-pipe and cat or cat to muffler since cat back systems start at the cat.

Made up between the cat and the muffler. All hemi trucks, regardless of wheelbase utilize the same y pipe/cat setup. The differences in frame length are made up in the intermediate pipe (long pipe between cat and muffler).

From what I'm seeing on borla's site, the 140308 and 140307 kits should all fit. They remove the stock muffler, and don't replace the intermediate pipes. So, any kit that bolts on in place of the muffler should fit with zero trouble. Again, if the exhaust kit doesn't replace the intermediate pipe (the pipe between the cat and the muffler), it should fit any truck cab and bed length. Some kits are true catback systems and are wheelbase dependent. But any kit that leaves the oem intermediate pipe should work on all trucks regardless of wheelbase.
