Just curious what anyone has done for a good hot rod sound without haveing to use all new pipe?

 

I installed a Flowmaster Super 10 and some extra pipe (welded in) to make up the difference. I really like the sound, and the drone at cruising speeds is not bad.

 

For what it is worth, here is what a 4.7L sounds like with a Flowmaster Super 40 series muffler installed (and a little extra pipe welded in).


I personally would stay away from GLASS PACKS and get a real muffler. Now whether you choose Flowmaster or Magnaflow or Borla or whatever is personal preference. There are plenty of videos on YouTube to help you determine if you will like the sound. Don't ask here as it has been hashed out 100s of time already.

 

Here is a video of a D with a Glass Pack.


Seems more like a "cracking sound" than a "rumble" to me.

 

I'm sure there are a ton of Rams with the 5.2 or 5.9 on youtube with glasspacks and all kinds of different mufflers that could give you some idea of what they'd sound like.

 

IMHO, glass packs sound like crap on our trucks... The real question is how many noise ordinances you will be breaking or how many popo you will pi$$ off.. Now days it seems as the police just do as they feel, hell here in PA it is now legal for them to search you car WITHOUT your consent. My advise would be to go with a flowmaster or a magnaflow cat back system.

 

Thanks guys I will probably get a catback or redo as stock.

 

Heres my ram 1500 with a 5.2 and a cherrybomb glass pack. Havnt had any issues with being too loud.

 

Here's a video with my glass pack. I doesn't pop but then again its huge compared to what people usually do.

I like the sound of the glass packs and when compared to what the cat backs costs. seems like a winner. Im still not sure though. time will tell thanks again guys.
