Default Dual Exhaust Kit Advise?

vehicle- 97 Dakota 5.2 extended


I found a website that's selling dual exhaust kits and has options to let you choose. It looks like a good price for the kits. But before I buy anything I would like everyone's opinion on what muffler I should choose or whats best. I'm not looking for anything super loud just a nice deep rumble, increase HP/fuel, and good for highway driving.

Opinions will help

The website http://www.truckexhaustkits.com/prod...haust-Kit.html


Thanks

Just listened to a few exhaust sounds on youtube and narrowed my choice to either a flow master super 44 or magnaflow muffler.

Personally I think the flowmasters have more of a raspy sound which sounds good on the 4.7s but to me they dont sound as good on the 5.2 that's why I went magnaflow route and I was very happy with it. Even though now I have my exhaust dumped at my cat. I might get around to putting my duals on without the muffler too see if I like that

Dont buy **** from those guys! It took them a month to build the exhaust for my truck when I ordered it. I gave it a week after ordering then called them after not hearing anything, they said Ill see it by the end of the week 4 weeks later nothing so I said the hell with it and told them to shove it up their back side and ordered a new cat back from summit and got it the next day!

I just rather have a single dual pipe for the time being until I figure out what I'm doing with my motor. I seriously need a new muffler and cat since they're plugged up good.

Ebays has always been good to me so I will search harder for a good kit.
