I've got a 96 ram 1500 wih the 5.9. ive got straight pipes from the cat back the exit on the side behind the tire, though i would like it louder. the cat is stock, so what can i do to make it louder and to cackle? where can i get a new cat ect.??

 

get a high flow cat...you can get them from jegs or napa or almost any parts supplier. i heard that the magnaflo is the best high flow cat. just what i heard tho, dont have one, so couldn't say for sure.

 

long tubes, high flow cat, straight pipes

or if u dont need the cat

then just run straight pipes from the headers back

 

put smaller diamter pipe in from the cat back, will definately make it louder and cackle more

 

Go to summitracing.com, they offer a lot of universal fit magnaflow catalytic converters in the size you want. I currently run a 3" si/so magnaflow catalytyic converter that dumps into a single inlet/dual outlet flowmaster SUPER 44 muffler, and to be quite honest, it's the best sounding SUPER 44 exhaust sound i've heard on the internet! ..So given you run straight pipes, I think by either purchasing a magnaflow cat, or just having it removed will liven up your system even more no questions, it sure as hell did for me. And I haven't even installed headers or a cold air intake kit yet, so I can only imagine it will get louder as I replace more of the restrictive components on the truck lol. Also, you can always just have your cat removed, or have it gutted so you can retain the visual appearance of having a catalytic converter, that is if that's your bag hah.

 

i think for now ill just gut the cat. What else do i need to keep things smooth? Where can i get the o2 sensor sims? anthing else ill need? thanks

 

sell that cat. you can get like 70to 100 bucks for it cause its made of platnum or something expensive, try selling it at a scrap yard
