Default more upgrades?

first off i dont know too much about cars so im on here to gain some knowledge

I just got a true dual exhaust system installed yesterday, with flowmasters. Im really loving the sound, I just want some more. So my question is, what else could I get to improve the sound of my truck

P.S. my truck is a v8 5.2l, 95' 1500 ram

Headers. If you have true duals I am going to assume you don't have cats.

Cats or no cats, two seperate pipes is still true dual.

My 1.7 Harland Sharp Roller Rockers made my truck sound better, like adding a bigger cam. Plus it was easy.

True dual really means one pipe for each bank of the motor hopefully connected with a x-pipe or h-pipe. It is supposed to mean two cats but most people get rid of them. The only way to improve sound now is headers, or cam swap, heads, 408 stroker, ect. Headers are the only one that seems in your skill and price level.

Depends on the headers you want. Do a search or look in the FAQ's. Look for short tube headers as with your new exhaust it is not practical to get long tubes.
