Default Exhaust Suggestions? 5.7 Hemi

I just bought this truck a few weeks ago. It came with an Airaid CAI and dual Flowmasters (Sounds like Super 40's or 44's but not exactly sure.) Anyway, I've never been a fan of Flowmaster. It sounds great at idle and the 1200-1800 range but as soon as I stomp on it, it sounds like complete sh*t and doesn't have the aggressive tone I'm looking for. I want to swap mufflers but I'm unfamiliar with what sounds good on the 5.7's. I would like something that's not annoyingly loud with minimal drone at cruising speed but will give a nice sound on the gas. Suggestions?

Plenty of muffler threads exist if you search for them. Here's a good start. Mufflers are always a personal choice.

Screw mufflers all together...


I prefer my truck the way it prefers itself, it blew a year old stock muffler off at the back of the cat while I was snow drifting last year and I ran the muffler over and had to remove the pipe & resonator in the snow resulting in a wet back . Even when my buddy owned the truck, he was an EMT and always had to feed speed to the truck, he couldn't keep mufflers on it, it would rip them apart. Since then I said screw the mufflers because the truck sounds like the devil coming through the earth to eat victims and it doesn't cost me $500 for magnaflows and sounds to me waaay tougher and of course louder, when I let it loose people just look in fear and even diesel boys quiver. I live in an area where the cops are ****'s regarding loud vehicles (got pulled over many times for my Neon having exhaust leaks and a blown out converter which made it sound louder) and have even gotten compliments from many cops on its sound! with no tickets in a year or complaints from officers. It sounds like you're at a drag race every time you put it down.

Hemi engines have a beautiful sound all their own, they don't need mufflers to quiet them.
