if you dump it there will be a lot of interior drone.... sounds like you want something like magnaflow... a dump is a thing where you can take off a cover and run your truck with no muffler(basically) and then put it back on to redirect the flow to the muffler...

 

what would you think about this

its not a true magnaflow kit its prolly using a magnaflow muffeler but than another shop bent the piping if you get a real magnaflow its gonna cost more but it is mandral bent, garanteed for life, and bolts right up...

 

Totally agree!!! What this thread needs is a Poll. That shows real numbers and real results. Unless someone wants to sit down and tally all of the individual votes from every post on this thread, I suggest a poll.

any opinions on this one?

 

had to comment on this one i have a 2006 1500 QC hemi 4x4... just put the flowmaster 50hd on it about three weeks ago sounds great but i can hear a little difference when the mds kicks in at about 30 or 35... dont hear it at all on the highways

 

Im new to the forums, I have a 40 series welded to my stock piping, nice low rumble, I have an '02 5.9 quad cabsport, i was wondering if the pacesetter long tube headers will bolt up wiith no clearance issues since they are only listed for the 2nd gen rams

 

Hey - here's my experience... [2006 Ram 1500 QC 5.7 HEMI]

I have a Flowmaster 50. Straight 3 inch pipe to the muffler (chopped off both resonators). My set-up is *very* LOUDwith the windows down, but when the windows are up it's not too bad, when i'm on the gas...and higher RPMs it literallySCREAMS. I do hate the drone when cruising at low speeds at about 1500-1800 rpm. But, overall, i definitely would not want it any louder.

I recently added a True Flow intake and it did not seem to increase noise (FYI in case anyone is interested).

Also, a friend of mine has the same truck w/ the Flowmaster 40 and it makes a popping sound when he revs it.. sounds ghetto IMO... the 50 does NOT do this.

When i got this the muffler guy said most people put 40's on their trucks, but that the 40 was made for cars and for a large engine like the HEMI he said the 50 or 50 HD would work best since they were made for trucks (not sure of the accuracy of that)

I would recommend the Flowmaster 50 (not HD) and cut off both front and back resonators if your goal is Loud as possible outside, quiet as possible inside the cabin...

 

thats the kinda kit your lookin for!

 

Here's a sound clip of my new setup, I have the Cherry Bomb Extreme exiting in front of the pass. side tire, the sound quality ain't all that great with my camera but hopefully it'll give y'all a general idea
