Yea, I would have probably opted for the 3"SI to 2.5"DO version, but with the high flow cats you may need a little backpressure for the low end torque. It may actually work out well,and I seriously doubt that it would make it any quieter.

I'm actually thinking of going to the Cherry Bomb Vortex when my Flowmaster 50HD wears out, but I've only heard the Vortex and of course the Glass Packs myself. I'd love to hear a sound clip of your Extreme when it's done...

The 3" SI to 2.5" DO would have been better, but 2.5" SI to 2.25" DO will still be better than stock.

Definitely hook us up with a sound clip when it gets done.

Ah yes, one of those. It seems Dodge/Chrysler made some factory changes around 1999 or 2000 on some of their Rams. Mine was the same way, 3" SI 3" SO, even though every book I've seen on the subject claims that Dodge/Chrysler never changed it from the smaller DI to smaller SO.
