(although compared to most mufflers, the CFM is still very good on the Extreme).

However, I have the Extreme (with CAI and longtubes) and love the sound. The Vortex also sounds awesome, not quite as loud (but still loud) and a bit of a different pitch, but nice as well...
Agreed...when I first installed my Vortex, it reminded me of my '69 Roadrunner with Walker "crewchief" mufflers, which are cheaper and not as quiet as OEM replacements. Different strokes for different folks.
It's still quieter than my nieghbors Mustang, which probably has flowmasters and dumps out before the rear axle.

Only way to be loud.
If you want more, get some headers...
i said not annoying lol.

but thanks i think i'll go with the extreme single in/out- its only 50 bucks--- and if i dont like it i'll probably go for the vortex duals.

heres my 5.2 with the si/do extreme. Stock manifolds and cat dualed from the muffler and 45ed out the sides. Im pretty happy with it but I really want longtubes and a cat delete with true duals.

I have a cherry bomb extreme single in dual out on my ram. I ran it straight pipe for a week before i put it on. There wasnt really that much difference in loudness between no muffler and the extreme but you could tell. It is still VERY loud and i always turn heads. Only prob right now is that my cat is clogged right now so once i get a new one ill be in business. Def cherry bomb extreme!
