Default Exhaust ideas

Yea thinking i need the exhaust already. lol. So what's the best place to get one. I am gonna be looking in my area for a custom shop but my biggest choice is muffler i guess.
Do most of you guys get them from custom shops and fabbed up for you or do you order kits from a company like flowmaster?

I want something that will sound good yet be ungodly loud. like wake the neighbors up loud type thing. no noise laws in my area or where i normally drive so w/e is fitting the bill i'll do.

was thinking i want to go full stainless so i don't ever have to worry about rust but i figure that's pricey but to be honest if that's what I want i'll get it.

I've heard the Corsa and Zoomers Cat-backs are awesome. they have vids and sounds of them installed on their respective sites. Zoomers are really good I know for sure. I have a friend who had a Zoomers exhasut put on his 08' Charger (5.7L) and it's amazing.....the sound, power, and torque are great!

I'm getting a magnaflow 14" muffler installed on mine tomorrow. I wanted the 11", but they dont come in the size I need. so I'm hoping the 14" will be good. I had the 18" on my dak and that was really loud.

I like my Flowmaster 40 but if you live nearby your neighbors it's very possible to wake them up pretty easily just firing it up and having it idle.

I had my exhaust custom made but with a Flowmaster 40 put on.

Ain't but one to getfor loud and unrestricted flow, and they are not expensive at all - CHERRY BOMB! Disturbing the peace since 1968!!!

The Vortex isa modern chambered design with awsome sound forabout $80.

The classic Glass Packs are cheap, like $40 and have the best sound I've ever heard.
I had them on a '73 Nova SS and it was bad a$$. Never really considered them for my Hemi, but I've now heard it and when my almost 4 year old Flowmaster starts to wear through, it Cherry Bombs for me...

I'll consider the cherry bomb and the flowmaster. anyone used aero before? soem clips of them on hemis and 4.7L's on youtube and they scream like a demon as well.

I like the idea of custom fab but I don't have access to benders or anyting other than welders and maybe a bender on a few occasionsand I like doing my work myself. so might have to get a prefab kit that fits my size stuff and put it on myself.

CherryBomb Vortex is the way to go. Hands down the best sounding exhaust for the Hemi motor. I have heard about every muffler from Flowmaster and othersand in the end I put on the CherryBomb vortex dual exhaust. It has the deepest/throaty exhaust sound without much in cabin drone. Very polished but mean sounding without the crackle and rasp of the other well known mufflers. It makes the Hemi sound incredible!! I have also heard the same system with the Cherrybomb pro muffler and it is abit louder (teethier) sounding than the Vortex. Construction/fit and finishof the new Cherrybomb mufflers are excellent.I am working on a good sound byte of the Cherrybomb sound.I have not heard a good or accurate sound byte onYOUTUBE that accurately captures the Cherrybomb Vortex or Pro sound. Closest good sound byte is on the show "TRUCKS" when they used a Cherrybomb for a few of their builds.

For a really good sound thats extremely loud, the ONLY muffler that you should consider is the Cherry Bomb Extreme. It sounds sick on the 4.7 and it pisses everyone off except for gear heads who appreciate loud exhaust. I get alot of complaints from the neighbors. Mines dumped off the muffler. NJ just banned cell phone use while driving. With the Extreme, I don't have to worry about it because you can't even hear yourself think in the cab

BTW, the Extreme is a single chamber race muffler. Mine is ~ 6 inches long. Its comparable to the Flowmaster 10 and it blows away the FM Super 40 in terms of loudness

Decision made cherry bomb extreme it is. Now did you just plop that on the stock exhaust or what did you guys do about the rest of the system?
