Default 2006 Ram SLT Hemi Exhaust

Ok I have read through a lot of post about the new (06-07) Hemi with MDS and exhaust issues.

I have a stock 2006 Ram 1500 SLT Hemi with the Thunder Road package.

I ordered a Superchips tuner before I found this site (not here yet)

The muffler shop near me offers Flomaster and Magnaflow mufflers.

I was thinking of having the "muffler only" installed leaving everything else in place. ie resonators & cat

My question is: Has anyoneinstalled just the muffler, and are you having problems/issues?



Thanks in advance,
Pappy

I went to a local muffler shop and had them put a single in dual out flowmaster 40series deltaflow exhaust on for $250. I know though that you will be fine if you just have them put in the muffler. Look for it to cost you anywhere from $100-$150
This is my exhaust sound clip. Tell me what you think!

Sounds great!

But I'm hoping someone with the same setup as I have will say "I installed the _____ muffler on my 2006 and haven't had a single problem!

LoL
Might go get the Flowmaster installed today anyway.

Thanks for the response though pakaalbite.

I put on the flow 50 series and removed the rear reso. So easy a caveman can do it.

when i was getting my exhaust done the guy in front of me had a 06 dodge ram with the hemi as well. he got a flowmaster 40 series and left the front resonator on and removed the rear resonator and kept the stock tail pipe. it sounded pretty good. personally i would have put the 50series flowmaster on it though. flowmaster says the 50 is made for the HEMI

I put a magnaflow 14579 muffler on my 06 I left both res. on. pretty quite but little to no mds sound! With the 50 and no rear res mds will sound like total crap, butyou'll find that out on thurs.

the flowmaster 50 series is pretty quiet in the cab when your going down a highway or something. its nice and loud when you step on it and sounds great too. when it revs at 1700-2000 down the highway you cant tell much. i haven't heard the 40 series but it will be louder than the 50 series.
