I had a magnaflow muffler and tips installed on my 3.5l charger a few years ago and it sounds nice. Now that I have this huge hemi, I don't like that it sounds quieter than my V6 in the charger.
The more info I have to take to my exhaust guy, the cheaper it is for me, having pictures of the how the pipes where laid out for my charger saved me at least $100 and I was in and out in less than an hour and a half.
Which threads should I be looking at? There's so much info on here my brain starts to melt when I start reading. This thread/build has some very good pics: http://ramforumz.com/showthread.php?t=71908 but it seems a little quiet for me. I want something "just a tad" louder. lol
That was my thread!! If you want louder, you could always go with a 14" muffler and remove the resonators...that would be a very "healthy" sounding exhaust. You WILL have a real bad drone in MDS mode, but it can be turned off! Let me know if you have any more questions!
Do you have any pics of yours that shows everything done?
I've had my truck less than a week and haven't even climbed under it to give the exhaust a look-over yet, lol. I'll probably do the when the side steps get here.
I have to make anything that might increase MPG a priority, I want to be able to drive her as much as possible when money is tight and gas is expensive.
I think MDS is a feature on the 5.7L engines but I'm not sure. Heck, I'm not sure if mine has it or if it is kicking in or how to tell if it is kicking in. lol
mds is only with 06 years and newer 5.7 hemi 1500's...2500's don't have it.
if you want it really loud, consider cutouts...i wanted it really quiet in the cab so i went with a 22" mag, but, if I'm in the mood for loud, open the cutouts and go nascar.. nice to have choices..
I installed a Magnaflow single in/dual out muffler (P/N 12288 http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/universalmuffler.asp) with new tailpipes and tips. I like the sound as it's no obtrusive in the cab when cruising but when you open it up, folks turn and look.
I don't have MDS on my MegaCab so no huge drone issues are present. I get just a bit of resonance around 1900 - 2100 RPM in steady state cruise but it's not annoying. Kinda sounds good.
