Default exhaust setup help


ok so I know that I want the cherry bomb extreme muffler but I want your opinion on whether to go with dual or single
1- Cats > x-pipe > 2 single in single out CBE’s > 2.5’’ tubing > tips
2- Cats > x-pipe > 1 dual in dual out CBE > 2.5’’ tubing > tips

What would you choose when it comes to SOUND and PERFORMANCE?
Am open to any other recommendtions

Cat back system will do just fine. with the X pipe. I used magnaflow. Breat sound no drone, like the flowmaster I had.

If I were to choose from your two options, I would choose option #2. I believe it will give a great sound and be the better of the two for daily driving power.

Other suggestions:

Long Tube Headers>cats>true duals>8" si/so glasspacks>out before rear tire.

That's my setup.

I don't know about how much louder it would be with dual CBE's, but I would think the low-end power would suffer. Since your truck would typically be used for towing or heavy work of some sort, I wouldn't want to lose any low-end. I can't tell for certain, but it looks like your truck has the 5.7 HEMI engine, so my opinions are based on that.

I would also not go with an x-pipe and a di/do muffler, but I would also not run true duals either. If you are wanting it to run all out down the track, then duals would be the way to go.

I guess you would need to define what SOUND and PERFORMANCE you are looking for then we may be able to better steer you in a more accurate direction. I agree with at least part of what KasperR34 said about the LT headers no matter what you want to do with the truck, assuming you don't have to pass emissions testing.

although i have a dually, i'm not using it for towing or heavy work at least not in the coming year or so
what am looking for is an aggressive sound and little bit of change
because what i have now is stock Y-pipe and si do magnaflow

A hemi dually? I didn't know they had those, ahaha.

I'd let the other guys steer you, seeing how I just want to be faster than all the rams in town. Good luck!
