Yep, I found that my truck droned with the stock muffler, the Turbo you hardly hear it now.

if you are planning on doing the work yourself you can save a few $$ by going with a kit from http://www.truckexhaustkits.com/cate...l-Exhaust-Kit/
i bought their rear exit kit with a super 44 and modified it for 45 degree exits (they now offer this - didn't when i had ordered it), it cost me around $250 shipped for muffler, all pipes, bracketry, hardware and tips.
be warned that it isn't a plug and play setup. i had to weld a 10 inch extension on the drivers side pipe exiting the muffler order in for it to be in the proper place, among other things like fabbing up a mounting system for the factory rubber hanger.
if i were to do it again, i'd probably go with the flowmaster setup on summit for like $450 (however you only get straight out the back or 90 degree exits) there's a youtube video showing the install and it looks like a breeze.

don't for get exhaust rain cap flappers. they make the headers or stacks coming through the hood a million times kooler.
i personally liked when my ram charger had a large leak between the cat and y-pipe. the leak in that 3" pipe would let the v8 roar when you stomped on it. i just wish i could have kept it that way.

A legal option would be a MagnaFlow High Flow Cat, usually gotten for around $100
But either have NO cat or a functioning cat, not a gutted cat, it will sound like ****, might run like it too.

Drag pipes right out through the fenders would be wicked cool. Tune the thing to run a bit rich with retarded timing and they'd shoot flames when you romp on it. Feckin-Ay.
