If you want quiet i wouldn't go with flow's 40 series. i hear there the loudest. i recommend the 50 seriers if you want something very good sounding but as it was said ealier "wife approving"

Get the 40 series Flowmaster, they sound great and look great.

This whole exhaust thing has me going crazy. Im going to put a cat back system on the Ram, but witch one? Good question, I have read so much about all the different systems one thing is for sure it will be stainless. It seems everyone says if you go with duals you will drop some HP and torque. The Magnaflow tech tip web page confirms that a single system will give you better performance. I happen to like the looks of the duals out the back. Did anyone experiance a big performance loss from installing duals out the back? Nothing is ever easy lmao.

I have Magnaflow, I got the bigger one so it wouldn't be so loud too, I don't care for blowmaster, never have, over-rated, over-priced.

Magnaflow is good for the money. If you want something not so loud, perhaps a Gibson. If you've got the money and plan on keeping it a long time, go with Borla Cat back. I put it in that order.

1. Magnaflow replacement muffler
2. Gibson catback
3. Borla catback

Good to know, but of those what sounds good but is pretty tame? This is the fiance's daily driver and she would want more sound/performance, but not as loud as I would like it. Plus she is looking for dual rear outlets...
