They are 68.00 to 186 bucks shipped depending on which style you go with?

Thats dirt cheap! Not to sound harsh but If you cant afford that then you may want to reconsider your vehicle choice because gas mileage and repair bills are not cheap for these trucks... stock replacement converters are over a grand for some cars so honestly thats a steal for our trucks....

I saw them magnaflow universal high flow converters on ebay for around the 140-160 mark. How much modding to your pipes would you have to do to put that one on? Would it be better to go with the magnaflow direct fit high flow one for around 210 dollars so you wouldn't have to do all that cutting?

the direct fit bolt on magnaflow part #23285 the includes the pipes to headers and muffler is only about 185 bucks shipped on ebay... or at least it was when I bought mine in December... try searching the part#... at this point in time if the cats original any 2nd gen ram would benefit from replacement...

I can't check the exact price here at school because ebay is blocked but i think it might have went up a little in price since you bought yours.

The most free flowing non-turbo mufflers are Hooker Aero Chambers. But they are fairly loud.

Where did you get yours for 86 bucks at? The magnaflow universal one on ebay is somewhere in the mid 100s.
