Default Which Magnaflow Muffler

Hey guys!! Fairly new here and finally looking to begin a few mods on my 05' QC Hemi I got a few months ago. I was just looking around at my local Advanced Auto yesterday and saw a Magnaflow Muffler #14325 (universal 2 1/4", or 2 1/2" single in, single out, 4x9, 18") in stock and was wondering if that would work on my truck, or if there is a particular part number I need for my specific truck. Im not looking for anything to loud and definately no drone.

You will need a 3"in/out 18" is a good length for deep sound with some added rumble. The longer you go the quieter it will get. I have an 18" Magnaflow. Click my sig link for a sound clip

^ Is there any difference in tone, or cabin tone, from having the exhaust exit before the rear tires, vs after the rear tires? Sounds good btw.

Mines loud when you get on it but has no drone and a nice rumble to it at idle/light throttle. Costs a bit more than a magna flow though.

Just another option...

I'm sure the exhaust tone will change going through a few more feet of tubing but not by much. Inside cab sound will probably be quieter although i must admit, my side exit is very tamed inside the cab. The inside cab noise is sooooo comfortable and smooth sounding I'm afraid to change the muffler out for anything else!
The tone is deep/throaty and not overly aggressive. My wife even likes the sound!

As far as the "Water Park"..... I barely drive my truck so it sits for up to a few eeks at a time. That particular start-up was after 1 week of setting and was a first start up that's why i had to put it in drive (i.e.clunk you hear) to drop the rpms to a proper idle. Also, the water isn't coming out of the muffler, it's coming out of the tips as there are no holes drilled in them and the tips are pointed up slightly so i have more clearance.
