Default Exhaust leak or MDS???

I'm new to Dodge world and just wanted to get your take on a "noise" that I'm hearing from my truck. I have an 08 Ram 1500 with the 5.7L MDS Hemi. When driving at low speeds, between 35-45 mph with the tanny in normal mode (not tow/haul or overdrive lockout), it sounds as if there's an exhaust leak. I notice it more upon accelaration and it goes away when I engage the tow/haul. It's done this ever since I picked it up, and doesn't really concern me too much, but just wanted to ask.

Also, reading some of the threads in regards to exhausts, is the Magnaflow cat back system a pretty all-around buy? I've been looking at upgrading my exhaust and been looking at Magnaflow, Flowmaster and Borla, but seems that everyone's pretty happy with the Magnaflow.

Thanks for reading!!!
