Default Best Aftermarket Exhaust

What do you guys all think is the best aftermarket exhaust for Dodge Ram Trucks. Factor in all areas of the exhuast, sound, performance, style and price. Any engine, 3.7, 4.7, 5.7, or 5.9.

I've got a JBA stainless steel cat-back system, single exit. JBA impressed me with the fit and finish, and ajusa.com impressed me with the price.....$350. I don't have any experience with the other brands but I may switch over to a Flowmaster system with duals.

The JBA did increase performance and fuel efficiency. But, I'm starting to believe the Flowmaster will pack a tougher punch in the sound category. I hate to give up the stainless steel, though. Don't get me wrong, I love my JBA. I just want a deeper and louder tone.

This is a tuff thing to make into a poll when you base it on sounds and performance. Reason being there are very FEW people who can compare all the exhausts as they have not heard them all. Not to mention there is no way to compare performance numbers based on real experience, no one is going to have dyno numbers with each system on their truck. Yea you could compare dynos with other owners, but do not compare HP increase by number, compare by percentage. Even that is a bit flawed, there are other variables, the only true test is to dyno the systems on the same truck.

Now price, well that is easy enough to compare.....

With all that said I will vote for what I have, which I am guessing most will do.

I love the Borla for its sound and great materials/craftsmanship. On the flip side, Gibson makes a darned good product at a reasonable price. Perhaps we should define Best. Best sounding? Best value? Best craftsmanship? Best materials?... You get the idea.

Talk about a subjective topic. I've heard several different systems and think they all sound good.
