Default Enough of this flowmaster

I am sick of feeling like i have to wear earplugs at 2000 rpm in my truck because the cab noise is so intense. I have friends with chevy's (w/ flowmaster 40 series) and no problem with cab noise but i can't get rid of it.

So the muffler has to go... what can you guys talk me into? I want a nice sound, something that will turn heads yet sound good when i have my 10,500 pound tractor and trailer behind my truck. But overall biggest thing is i am sick of the drone in the cab, i cant even have a conversation at 2000rpm it is so loud in the cab. Not saying i dont want to hear anything in the truck, but it is just rediculous with this flowmaster. I am looking at magna flow but not really sure what lenght to go with. What do you guys have/like?

Truck is a 2004 2500 regular cab hemi.

This one sounds nice, but hard to tell with a youtube video.

Thanks,
Aaron

any know how the FM 44 series sounds? I've been curious to know because I may switch to that when the time comes. I do have a drone in the cab with my 40 series also but it isn't too too bad.

A delta series FM is more quiet than a FM that isnt a Delta. I got used to my FM even though it is a Delta. But I rarely even hear my FM as my cutout stays open all the time anyway. Magnaflows everyone seems to like but they are a bit too costly for me being I never use my mufflers anyway.

Don't have a Hemi but I did replace my 40 series with an Aero Turbine and couldn't be happier, they sound great and it's much more mellow when cruising, performs better too.

Here's a couple videos of a Hemi ram with one.

Ok the flowmaster is officially getting the boot, i just crawled under my truck and after 2 months of use it is rusted out around the outlet and cracking. That is B.S.!!

Question, Can i run dual exhaust around the spare? Seem like there is not enough room.
