okay when i first got my QC 06 hemi i cut off my muffler and the big thing right behind it.....i went from a super 40 to 44 to ow a cherry bomb extreme im please with the extreme but still want it louder......i also have shorty tube bbk headers on it btw.......what i want to ask is after the cats the pipe goes into a Y into a coffee can lookin thing........if i get this cut off and more 3 inch pipe added to take its place will it be louder???

 

That thing after the "y" is another resonator. It will definately be louder without it.

 

'06's goes like this...manifolds-cats on each side and merges to a Y, then goes into a single 3" tube, then you have your first resonator, then the muffler and then another resonator before exiting out the side/back behind the pass tire.
Leave the cats and ditch the resonators, but BEWARE, if you don't have a Superchips or DSP to turn off the MDS, then your gonna hate the sound of your exhaust. Not sure if you can hear the flutter sound upon activation right now, but it will be very apparent removing the 2nd resonator. if you have a 2500, then you don't have MDS to worry about.

 

thank u for all your help getting it ditched tomorrow

 

DirtyDog would you recommend leaving the resonator right after the why and replacing the rest until I have the money for a programmer? Will I notice any power gain even with it in there?

 

The sound will suck when MDS kicks in and you ditched all the resonators! I had a Charger and when I did my exhaust, I took out all resonators and mufflers (2 each) and installed Flowmasters. Man, was that a mistake! I got a headache every single day I drove it from the head-bangin, mind-numbin noise it was producing when MDS kicked in. When I got the Ram, I got smart and left one reso on, the one closest to the cab and installed a Cherry Bomb Extreme. What a difference the one resonator makes with the sound , even when MDS kicked in. Still growls at ya when you start it and when you stomp on it, but on the freeway, I dont get a headache from the hollowed-out tuna boat sound like I did with my Charger! Just my $.02.

 

Good info thanks

 

ya i removed my muffler and left both resonators in place i hate when mds kicks in... i leave it on tow/haul

 

Does putting it in tow/haul kick off the MDS???

 

If you want loud just get an electric cutout. Problem Solved!
