Default Was that MDS?

So I was getting gas in town about a week ago and I was watching the traffic pass as I was filling up. A brand new Hemi passed by and it sounded like an RC plane, but a bit louder. There wasn't any other vehicles around it so I know it was the source of the sound. It was one of the Rams that has the exhaust tips ran through the rear bumper so I'm not sure if it was stock or running an aftermarket muffler. Is this the sound of a Hemi with MDS with an aftermarket exhaust or was it something else? If it was MDS, a programmer just definetly skipped an exhaust in my future plans. Thanks.

I'm almost certain it was a Hemi MikeHTally. As far as I know the only 4th generations with the exhaust tips in the bumper are Hemis, but I may be wrong.

Thanks for confirming that for me AsphaltCowboy. I always thought it would just get a lot softer, but still sound about the same. What does it sound like in the cab?

sounds like **** haha. the RPMs drop and it sounds bad, atleast inside. i dont know what it sounds like outside the truck. i just know the girls like to ride in the back seat cruising down the highway at 80mph they like the rumble of the flowmaster.

Haha. Sounds like that makes it all worth it AsphaltCowboy. Thanks for all the replies guys. I guess I'll start researching and saving up for a good programmer before an exhaust.
