Yep...used that the last time...still a PITA based on your ability to fit the tool into the VERY tight gap to get them off

On your 2021, have you been under it to look at the exhaust. On mine after the weld on the muffler there is exactly 1" of straight pipe at I guess 3" diameter, then it has a slight bulge to a small increase in the pipe size. Same piece of pipe, and then goes quickly into a curve. It's not a simple straight piece of pipe to cut. Does yours look like that? Thanks

I'll take a look later today when I have a minute to get under the truck and take a pic. Shouldn't be any different than my 2019.

Did you install yours by yourself. If so where did you cut the pipe. Some say 1" some 1 1/4" from the weld on the muffler. If you haven't done it yet, can you take some pics or video. I just ordered the oval one and Thanks for the discount code.

Kenny, does yours look different than this?

 

[Kenny4]

Yes it's basically the same. Right where your saw blade is and the arrow is pointing there is a small bulge in the pipe. At 1 1/4" I'd be cutting on that bulge. My concern is if that would hinder the slip on over it and possibly cause a leak. Is the above your 19 or 21? Thanks for the pics.

I installed the carven on my 2020. Easy install, pita maneuvering the sawsall under the truck to make the cut, but still simple. The exhaust hangers weren’t too bad with the tool.
As for the muffler, I believe all the carven cut and clamp kits are all competitors for the new model Rams. Or so I was told. The muffler to me does not sound anything like the videos on YouTube (video with the Rebel in it). I was expecting loud, and It is much quieter than the video. On startup it sounds decent, but gets quiet after that. I had the Flowmaster Outlaw on my 4th Gen and wish I would have went with my gut and got it for this truck.

Go to a muffler shop and have them weld in an Outlaw and sell your Carven on the site, you will likely get a good portion of your money back. The Outlaw is worth it!

For those of you fighting with the rubber hangers, did you remove the block they mount to? Its been 6 months since I did mine, but I don't remember having any difficulty with those at all. I unbolted the hanger mount from the frame, and removed the rubber pieces with the exhaust off the truck.

Here's a good vid showing what you suggested.

Does anyone have this set up on their Ram. It's their 14" #19433

Magnaflow 14"

I ran a 14” on my ‘11 Ram Hemi. It sounded great. Wasn’t bad at idle and low speed, but woke up when you got on it.

Don’t trust the band clamps on the B2 Fab system. They leak. Either go to a muffler shop to weld it or just have them weld a muffler of your choice in place for way cheaper than the B2 kit.
