Default exhaust help please

New to forum, need advice on a cat back exhaust. I have a 98 ram 1500. Shop advised a Flowmaster 40 or 50 series Deltaflow. I don't want it to be annoyingly loud but a nice rumble. I'm 50 but my son is 18 and want something to satisfy both. I'm not a motorhead and would appreciate some help. Thanks

i love my 40 deltaflow, i heard its loud outside not inside the cab unless you are just driving around town. On the highway you cant hear it at all.

40 or 50 sounds right, generally the with Flowmaster the lower the number the louder it is, I rear the 10 series is loud as sin.

I have a Magnaflow and LOVE it, its loud, but not to loud. Can't even tell its there on the highway or in city if I drive slow. I heard somebody else in my truck drive away from me, and WOW. I love the way it sounded when I was behind it.

I had a 50 for awhile, and it had a nice rumble from the outside, and was pretty mild inside. I switched to a 40 series, and it is louder inside. Both have a nice rumble, but the 40 sounds better when you get on the throttle. That is when the 50 kinda gets quiet.

I still have my 50 sitting in my garage if you want to try it out. It is 3" in/out, but can be necked up or down easily to meet your pipe sizes. It was on my truck for 18 months. I put it in the for sale awhile ago, but kinda forgot about it. It's posted here: https://dodgeforum.com/m_590831/tm.htm

I bought the 40 series as advised. It sounds great, the kid is happy and I have to admit I'm liking it too. Thanks to all for the help

I have a Gibson with the 3" outlet from the cat going all the way out. Nice rumble and not annoyingly loud. My 11-year old loves the sound.
