RE: Which Exhaust? Get others opinions here!!
Ahh Haa!
Here is a down and dirty summary of my exhaust.
2006 Ram 5.7 Hemi/MDS
Note this setup is NOT loud. I didn't want any drone inside the cab.
Total Cost: $160
Took truck to local Economy Muffler shop
They installed (welded) a single-in / single-out 50 series Flowmaster 53057 in place of the stock muffler
Everything else remained in place (ie both resonators and tail pipe)
Here are links to audio/video clips
Outside of Truck: Start-Idle-Rev

Inside of Truck: Mild accelration

RE: Which Exhaust? Get others opinions here!!
Okay, i've been waiting for this. I didn't want to flood the regular area. My truck does not have a fron't or rear resonator, I think. Right after the headers there are two(one of each side) very small things just bigger than the pipe. Then it comes to one pipe, where I believe there is another one of the things. Then nothing until the three foot long muffler. Then a pipe to the side of the truck. I haven't heard of other peoples like this. I want to cut out the muffler dump it with a supper 40 right before the axel (or somewhere in the area) should I look into removing these other things when I do this?

I think they are all catalytic converters, here is a blurb from the service manual 4.7 & 5.7 litergas engines, if yougoogle ityou can take a lookat it:[align=left]50 State emission vehicles incorporate two mini catalytic converters located after the exhaust manifolds and before[/align][align=left]the inline catalytic converter [/align][align=left]the way I read it is that equals a total of 3. I had both resonators cut off and still had all 3 cats, we all know about emissions now a days, hope this helps.[/align]

I second HansonHVAC's recommendation. I have a 40 series single in, dual out side exit before the rear wheel. Sounds bad ***, performs great, and the drone inside the cab is hardly noticeable. I can't see anybody being dissapointed with a 40 series.
