Just remember the stock Hemi mufflers are like 3ft long. You'll need more piping to fit in that muffler. Don't buy cheapo mild steel either. I would order up a length off Ebay or something. They run like $40 for a 4ft piece minimum. Just take that into consideration for muffler costs.

+1, you don't want something that is gong to rust out in a few years time.

There are threads about this. Dual 2.25" will make more power than dual 3" on our small 345ci engines.


If you are only buying one to replace the gas tank sized stock muffler, then disregard
im just buying one for now.

true duals are in the plans.

Sounds like a nice exhaust set-up. Just don't oversize the pipes. 2.25" is plenty with true duals for good torque in a heavy truck.
