Besides, can your guys trucks do this. Wait till I get the SCT. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing...asswipes.
Actually yes, based on your speedo and your camera mine runs harder than yours. Now that we are done whippn' out our *****; how much of a difference in sound does your exhaust tip make? I've been told they make a significant amount of change in the exhaust note. Maybe between a new cat and a tip removal you can bring the drown down.

I know a lot of you on here have gutted cats and are happy with it,but I would really rec installing a high flow cat,vs no cat.That will dramatically reduce the interior noise.

I guess it's too late now as you've already switched mufflers to a magna flow,but I have found that the Cherry Bomb Vortex Classic mufflers have less of a hum inside the cab.They have a fiberglass surrounding the inside to help muffle this.

Actually the tips play very little part in the sound.Mostly for appearance.

Yeah I think it's really my only option at this point. There really isn't any room for a resonator. I've looked. It goes y-pipe, flex pipe, then muffler, no room for a resonator. I think I've got to just get over that it's going to loose a little bit of it's aggression. But to me, it's worth it. On the highway, my passengers start to really hate me lol. I'm going 70 and they think I'm going over 100.

You really wont be hurting your power by adding a high flow cat.It will actually give you more low end,which is what you want anyway isn't it?More off the line power? Sure top end won't be as much,but who cares?How many times are you really driving at WOT?

Why do you have a flex pipe on it? Should be y to cat to ext pipe,muffler and tails.The flex can be removed and a resonator could then be installed,but I don't see the need.

Good luck man.

I wonder how much of it is the long tubes? I have shorty headers, Magnaflow high flow cat, and Flowmaster Super 40, and it really doesn't resonate in the cab at all. It's kinda bad if I have the windows down, but with the windows up, it just makes a nice deep rumble, but easily able to talk over it. Never had a single complaint about the sound from inside the cab.

The difference in my opinion is that you also have a cat.

Hey guys, while were on the age thing, I would like to let you guys know that i am only 13. Yeah say what you want. But this is what i like to do. I love my dads ram, i love to work on it. All the mods that are in my sig were installed by, yes a 13 year-old! My dad always says that he so glad that i am so connected to the modification of vehicles, and that if i had never been interested in cars and trucks , he wouldnt have been introduced to it either. He told me at the Mopar Nationals that he wanted to buy me a car that we could restore because, he thought i deserved it for all the great times we have working on the truck. Also while we were at the Nats' at the Hughes Engines booth, i was showing him how their plenum cover and FI Air Gap intake worked. So one of the guys from Hughes comes over and says to my dad "Ya showin' your son how an intake works", and my dad replies "No he's showin me what the plenum cover does on my truck". And the guy just walks away with a suprised look on his face. Also while i was on this forum i have learned so much from people who know what their talking and implent it on my dad's ram. I hope you guys understand me.

Wow,great story.I wish more 13 yr olds today were so into doing "GOOD" things as learning and working closely with their fathers.Today too many kids are just into doing bad and getting into trouble.

Props to you young man.Keep it up.
