Default Down to four choices- Help!

Wow man I never thought picking an exhaust would be so difficult. I thought I finally decided on magnaflow but then I seen a few more options and also heard a ram in the area which didnt sound to hot with magnaflow so I got scared.

I really need your help here fellas/ladies, im concerned about the MDS and im also concerned about raspyness, you know that pop pop pop sound when your coming off the throttle, I need a smooth sporty mean sound without the raspyness when I let off.

Four choices

- Corsa
- Borla
- Magnaflow
- Banks monster exhaust

Everyone chime in please, this is not just for me, I think future dodge owner would love to know. To me those four top the charts but im not sure which to choose, I have exluded flowmaster and cherrybomb because after watching video's on youtube its pretty clear to me they are way to raspy.

Help a ramster outtttttt, I want to get the exhaust done by end of next week and I would also appreciate if you reply to include the exact exhaust your talking about with part numbers.

Thanks!

Since my favorite sounding muffler is a Cherry Bomb and second is Flowmaster, it's obvious we have different tastes, so I'll shut up and let the others chime in...

Mine sounds really good to me and everyone who comments on it, but I'm 6'2" or at least was before back surgery and 270 lbs. so if it didn't sound good, I'd probably not get told that it didn't.
K&N CAI, Long Tube Headers, my own custom routed exhaust through both cats (moved back about a foot & a half), Y-pipe, Flowmaster 50HD si/do to a couple of 18" s/s tips. Only change I'll make is to a Cherry Bomb Vortex when the FM starts to show some rust beyond just the surface.
But, I have an '04, NO MDS, so I won't tell you that the FM will sound good on your truck. Listen to the MDS guys who've tried different mufflers on this one...

Ive got the Magnaflow 16700 on 2008 Sport and love it. Great look and sound and very happy w/ the results. You can hear the MDS kick in, but some will drive around in tow. So, some options, but the change in tone doesnt bother me at all.

Good luck.

Damn man your front end is deadly lookin, love it. Corsa was my first choice after hearing yours a while back to but personal preference is dual out the back or single out right rear, does corsa have something like that with simular sound of yours?

We basically have the same truck, do you have any sound clips of it, or could you get some sound clips?

Does it require modding for the trailer hitch?

Nice truck!

You could get that system and get a different exhaust tip thats single.
