Well the dynomax VT is very quiet in the cab with normal highway driving, but when you step on it or tow heavy loads it gets really loud. It has a spring actuated valve in the muffler to force exhaust to go through more of the muffler when you aren't asking for performance, then when you ask for power (more exhaust) it opens the valve to allow a almost straightpipe exit to the world, and it definately announces it to the world, but the performance is awesome too.

Update: It's running 40psi oil pressure when at 55MPH in overdrive today

Nice. How much were they? That's why I like my Turbo. Quiet at 75mph, has a nice rumble at low speed, roars at WOT.
I've thought about getting a Cherry Bomb Vortex for better flow, but I can't stomach the $60+ for it right now. lol

$35/ea shipped, so $70 for both, with a 2yr warranty and stainless steel construction. I got my whole true dual exhaust done for $220. Only complaint I have about them, and nothing really can be done about it, is that one has the normal spring rattle, nothing that was the fault of me OR dynomax, it just comes with the territory of spring loaded valves in those sorta mufflers, and it really isn't annoying, and is non existent on the highway.

Dang. Where did you get them? When I looked they were $70 each, and that was a few weeks ago...

Got a good deal on Amazon, price has gone up alot on all dynomax products since I purchased them, so I was really lucky to get them when I did!

Finish up interior and run all new wiring for lights and trailer brakes.

Then the Dodge is pretty much done.
