Default Will this muffer work/fit?

I have an opportunity to get a Cherry Bomb Extreme muffler #7427 (3" SI/ 2 1/2" DO) for a really good price. Anybody know if this will work on my 07 Ram 1500 w/ Hemi??

Thanks for all the feedback!

Now I am learning that Cherry Bomb mufflers won't last very long, maybe a year or so. That would suck. Gotta re-think now....

just like hellbilly said the size won't matter. He got away with stock hangers, but i couldnt so just had the shop weld in a couple extras. The stock muffler is huge and i can't ever see an aftermarket product being that big.

Most of the time when you mention cherrybombs to anyone they think of the long red tubedglasspacks that do not last very longdue to thefiberglass core which ends uprotting awayafter about a year or so, the muffler you are looking at will not do this since it is made similar to a flowmaster setup without the fiberglass core. So you should be fine.
