Default Opinion on the quality of..

Whats everyone's opinion on this exhaust for my 2007 1500 Quad Cab Hemi? I'm looking for something loud, loud, and more loud. I don't care if I can't talk. I just want it to roar. Opinons and Reccomendations for other pieces to go along with this or another system. I haven't done anything performance wise to it yet so I'm starting fresh.

I posted in the sticky..but I dont think anyone looks at that.

Did you look at the exhaust thread at the top of the page. Pages upon pages of opinions.

That system comes with a 50 series which is quieter than a 40 and 44 (in that order I believe). I just bought a 40 series with dual exitsand dumped them right after the muffler. It sounds pretty good.Don't think I would consider it loud, loud, more loud though.

flowmaster sounds good but is actually rated pretty low as far as performance gains, don't know if that matters to you at all though since you only mentioned sound...

He didn't say loud, deep & throaty. He said LOUD, LOUD & MORE LOUD. Mufflers with dividers & wingplates are nice, loud, deep & throaty for me & you, but for someone who wants loud to the point that you cannot talk in the cab over it - ONLY A GLASSPACK WILL DO!

<Being sorta silly here> - Ditch one of your resonators, take the other and pound the right diameter pipe through it and weld it in (so basicaly straight piping through the shell of the resonator), then slap that in place of your muffler. It'll "look" like you have a muffler, but should be way loud !

Again...just being a little silly...but it'd be loud..[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

This is my setup as of yesterday, single in dual out flowmaster 50 series (sounds good but not too loud) but also I installed a race ready electric cut out befor the muffler, and had a side exit down pipe installed off of the cut out. It sounds SWEET with the cutout open, but if you are ride'n with some one or towing somthing you can close it and still carry on a conversation. Believe me you WILL get tired of not being able to hear in your truck, Yes it will sound good and will impress people, but nobody will want to ride with you espicially your wife or your girlfriend. I had a 2000 Z71 and had a dual 40 series flows on it and under a load (heave acceleration,towing,etc..) you couldn't hear yourself think.If you are mainly after sound then get a cut out, it will becheaper and you can open and shut it according to your mood, (having said that mine has been open scince I wired it in yesterday!) I will post some pics of the cutout and down pipe setup it's very stealthy!

What is this, a loud contest? Why does anyone really want a low performance vehicle to sound like a dragtster, pissing off 95% of the populace in the process? Ther Harley guys are bad enough.
