Default Looking for the Right Magnaflow

I have a SI/DO flowmaster on my 4.7 ram and i really want something with a better flow rate but would like to keep it loud like the flowmaster. I have been searching and was trying to find out what magnaflow had the loudest tone. I emailed magnaflow and did not get a response. I dont want to just order one because i listened to a ram hemi with a magnaflow crank up the other day and it was kinda quiet. Exactly what magnaflow would i need.

Any other muffler opinions?

I just took a FM50 off my truck. It was loud and a little raspy. I have Magnaflow 30" on it now and it has a nice classy smooth sound. IMO. Lean on it and it gets loud but sounds sooo much better. Also go a good performance gain. I agrre a 14" Mag will be loud. Good luck...

Thanks! I'm looking at two 14in mags and 1 is a 5x8 and the other is 4x9. What would be the difference in the mufflers besides the demensions.

Well i went ahead and ordered the 4" round 14" long magnaflow. I should get it Wednesday. I listened to a few videos of 08 jeep cherokee with a hemi that had one installed. It sounded pretty good but if i dont like it my buddy is wanting to buy it for what i paid. I'm hoping ill like it though.
I'm going to try to tackle the y pipe while i'm at it too.
