Description
Overview
The Flowmaster Force II® Cat-back Exhaust System is a purpose-built performance upgrade custom designed for 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota trucks equipped with V6 or V8 engines. It’s engineered for the driver who wants a genuine boost in exhaust flow and performance without an overly aggressive tone — delivering a moderate sound level both inside and outside the cab, backed by the flow characteristics Flowmaster® is known for.
At the heart of the system is a mandrel-bent aluminized steel inlet pipe that feeds into a Super 50™ Series muffler (part number 53058), tuned to produce a smooth, moderate exterior sound. Mandrel bending preserves a consistent 2.50-inch inlet diameter through every curve, helping exhaust gases move freely for the performance gains you expect from a name-brand cat-back system.
Sound & Finish
The Super 50™ Series muffler strikes a refined balance — deeper and more purposeful than stock, yet civil enough for daily driving and long highway miles. A single 3.00-inch aluminized steel mandrel-bent tailpipe routes the exhaust rearward and is capped with a large 3.50-inch polished, embossed stainless steel tip that adds a clean, finished look to the back of the truck.
