Alot of Exhaust Questions, Just wanna finalize this
Thank eveyone for reading my thread. I've done alot of research and since everyone's setup tends to be a little bit differnt I figured I'd start my own topic.
First, I have a 1999 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x2 Dodge Ram 5.9L.... I want a SI/SO exhaust system with a decent looking stainless steel tip.
1. Is it center in/ offset out? Is the exhaust pipe measured in diameter? Im probably an idiot, but the stock pipe I have measures 3 1/2 on the tape. I bought this one owner from an old retired man, who I know didn't replace the stock pipe he even told me so.
2. The muffler I need is it 2 1/2 in and 2 1/2 out? Honestly could care less about the whole which size is better out argument. Do I want to go a size bigger so it slips over the stock pipe? I plan on welding it, unless bolton would work?
3. The tip, I just want it to be simple and look like it belongs, im gonna dump the exhaust in the stock location. Tip size do I want the inlet size the same as the pipe or bigger so it slips over the stock pipe?
Im looking at Magnaflow or Flowmaster 50 series.
All and all im just curious about your experiences, and what you think would work, I have a pretty good idea on what I want, but just curious of your input. Thanks for repsonding!

You want to get parts for your size pipe. Manufacturers take that into account when making the various parts. So, a muffler for a 2.5 inch exhaust system will fit over 2.5 inch pipe. If you go for the larger sizes, you will have some nice gaps to fill when you weld it up.
Pipe is measured by inside diameter.
Where the inlets/outlets are is just a matter of preference. Get the one you need to run the exhaust the way you want it.

Gonna get the highflow cat probably after this winter, Doesn't look like that big of a job, even though it woulda prob been easier just to go them all in one job. Oh well I got a good hometown exhaust shop.
