Rust should not be an issue. I spray painted all of the weld points on this one and spray painted the muffler as well with a high heat silver. I will check it periodically and spray paint as necessary.

Magnaflow is sweet but I just could not drop the cash on it.
I thought about the dual pipes but I tow a trailer a lot and that can get in the way. I am just excited about the throaty sound....i am pumped! LOL

That is a 3" tip that is 12" long. The muffler shop charged me $30 for the tip, which isn't too bad compared to the $50-$100 I have seen for tips online!

When I bought my 05 hemi quad cab, it already had a magnaflow muffler with resonator still in it. I love the way it sounds. Its like you said, low rpm sounds great and not very loud at highway speeds.

I am not sure how to record it. Any suggestions? I have a video camera but not sure how to connect it to the PC. Pretty sad, because I am in IT for my company! LOL

Keep an eye on the welds, They will rot out first. I painted mine a few times and it lasted about 5 years before the tailpipes rotted off of the muffler and it had rotted around the casing welds as well. It was on a Ford with 4 cat converters and the Dodge only has two, so it may not get as hot.
