Magnaflow. Stainless and outflows darn near every street legal muffler out there.
Got a pair on the Mustang and I have one for my Ram.

My choice would be the magnaflow dual in dual out with X pipe in the muffler. Loud but not obnoxious and the X gives it a sweet different tone. I ran this set up a while back and had a lot of compliments on it, of course your y pipe will have to be replaced by two pipes back to the muffler, but you will sound completely different from other Hemis

I went single 3" in, dual 2.5" out. I don't have a front resonator like the 06/07 does so I only had to install the muffler and tailpipes. I switch back and forth so I wanted to keep it all slip fit.
The Magnaflow does flow much better than stock because I can tell a bit of a loss in low end torque, but a gain of high rpm hp. Right now I'm running the stock 3" stuff so that I can use my MDS to save fuel. It sounds crappy in MDS mode with the louder pipes. Only takes me about 20min to swap systems.

I guess I'm getting old, but I kinda prefer my truck to be kinda quiet. it still growls pretty good when I get on it with my Airaid MIT pipe and K&N drop-in filter. If I want to make noise, I drive the Mustang with a pair of high flow cats and Magnaflows that are all 2.5" from the headers back.
