RE: 2006 Ram SLT Hemi Exhaust
I did have 2 minor issues with the Suprchips install.
1. After the initial (right out of the box v1.06) install of the program, the outside temperature gauge (the one above the windshield) said it was Negative 40 degrees outside (burr). LoL. It corrected itself about 5 miniutes later as I was driving. This did not happen the scond time I tunedthe truck with v1.08.
2. Updating the tuner over the internet failed with a T4 error. This was corrected by moving the USB cable to the rear (number one) USB port of my computer. I guess the tuner is picky about USB ports. (updated tov1.08)
On a side note my home network has a Hardware Firewall device, and all computers connected to it are running Software Firewalls (Zone Alarm)and Anti Virus. After running the FlashPaq Tune-up software Zone Alarm did ask if the Superchips software could have access to the internet (two different programs) I answered yes and checked remember my settings for both applications.
The reason I am saying this is, I have seen Superchips tell people to disable there Firewall and Anti Virus to get the Tuner to update properly. I do NOTAGREE with that!
Cheers,
Pappy

This is an outside clip from about 2 feet away from exhaust tip.
Man I should have left off that rear resonator!

Thanks for your info, I have an 07 Ram 4x4 with the Hemi and Monday I'm going to put the Fifty series Flow Masters and no rear resi and dual turn downs out the back. I'm going to also lower it 4" so I can get in and out of her a little easier. Your info was very helpfull and I thank you, Lakeozarkman

RE: 2006 Ram SLT Hemi Exhaust
I have a question on 50 series Flowmasters and 70 series, are the 70 series quieter then the 50's? Also do they both have single in and dual out and if the 70 series is quieter, why not use them and eliminate the risinater and end up with more power? Thanks for your help, lakeozarkman

Thanks for all the great responses guys.
I lived in Missouri for 12 years Lakeozarkman a little town called Windsor
Flowmaster does make single-in /dual-out 50 and 70 series
The 70 is bigger than the 50 (22" vs 17" long)and thatwill putit closer tothe cab a bit. By the looks of the little sound bar comparisionon each of the mufflers they look the same. Performance, I really don't know. But bigger = more weight, if that matters to ya.
I don't know if this has anything to do with in-cab sound, but the placement ofmy muffler is behind the cab, not under it.
I would recommend Darkrt and Darend's set up though. I could live with a little more sound, and I can always havemy rear resonator removed. Got a sound clip Darkrt or Darend? Would love to hear it bro.
Like I said we are driving from FL to TN in the morning, so that ought to be a great road test for in-cab resonance.

Just put the 70 series on this morning. Took the front resontaor off, left the back one on. The stock muffler is a 30", so the 70 series fits right in and I had to add about 5 feet of piping. I got the side in/center out because the pipe from the cat is a little off-center. Most certainly louder than stock and has a nice V8 burble to it, but I'll wait a couple of days for it to "break in" before passing judgment on how loud it is.
On a side note, the stock hardware has quite a bit of heat brusing already (1900km on the truck). Not sure what to make of it.

The trip went ok!
I have aWhistle (air leak)coming from the driver side door.
I put 1450 miles on the new set up.
The MDS when it kicks in reminds me of my Harley when I let off the throttle so I think it sounds cool.
Really had to listen for it..
I thought my speedometer was off because it just didn't seem like I was going very fast.....
Then Igot pulled over by a Georgia State Trooper for doing 84 in a 65! Doh
I saw him and immediately looked at my speed with a pucker factor of 9! This did confirm my speedo was on the mark though. LoL
However up until the point I got pulled over gas milage was...not so good. about 16 MPG
After I got pulled over I slowed way downto 60-65ish for 50 miles,and gas milage went up to better than I have ever got before 19.5 MPG sweet!
