The problem I have seen on the Hemis with the MDS is, like some others said, the drone. And being able to hear the MDS kicking in and out....

If you go with a loud system then yes you will hear the drone alot more than a quiet gibson or similar system. I hate the cab noise of a loud system,

I like hearing some of it in the cab, not to where things rattle though. I used to have a 318 with a Flowmaster cat-back and it wasn't at all loud enough in my opinion.

While I haven't gotten under my pickup yet (just got it Saturday)--has anyone removed just the final muffler that is behind the right rear tire? Is that necessary to keep it sounding decent? I tried removing one of the three mufflers on my Chrysler and it sounded like a plane (V6 though LOL).

In my previous pickups I have pulled the stock muffler out and had a magnaflow or flowmaster welded in. Adds a nice tone...

Mine is a 2008 4.7. I like the single side exhaust. I wondered about just replacing the muffler only. Anyone done that yet?

Don't the Hemis have a 3rd catalytic converter after the Y pipe? If so, that would be why nobody will do it. I have true duals on my 4.7, but it only has 2 cats, one on each manifold down pipe. No BS emission interference. I love the sound. I have all 8 cylinders firing on the highway, so it doesn't sound like ****.

That's not a converter your talking about. That's a resonator. I don't think it would be an issue with an exhaust job.

Thats what i plan i doing with mine, just buy the Gibson superflow muffler and cut out old one and have new one welded in. $125 bucks + labor then just buy tip . I had that in my Dakota 4.7 just like that and it sounded great not to loud but deep V8.
