Flowmaster Cat-back
Im thinking about putting a Flowmaster Cat-back system on my 2004 Ram--Im sure plenty of you guys have done this. How loud are the flowmasters in comparison to other brands? Performance gain? Any torque loss?
I have to go with the Cat-back due to where I live--which sucks, but its better then the tickets!!!
Thanks ahead of time for the input everyone!!!

I do like flowmasters sound but I feel that i gained a little bit more performance with my magnaflow flow plus i like smoother exhaust tone it has to offer.
i don't think swapping mufflers or getting a catback makes a difference according to the law.

As long as you don't tamper with the cats and you don't break any sound rules you'll be good to go. Most places don't have exhaust SPL or dB restrictions. I know Cali does, but most cops don't have the correct equipment to test when pulled over.

RE: Flowmaster Cat-back
I have a Flowmaster -17397 kit that uses a 50 series H.D. muffler. You have the option of running the tips straight out the back or to 45 deg them out just behind the rear tire on both sides. I've heard the 50 series HD isnt as loud as the 40 series and other 50 series as well. At first when I heard mine I thought it was too loud, after a friend of mine did a few drive by's with it, I realized it was perfect. It's so hard to judge what people think are too loud or not loud enough. I love my system and have no regrets, came with some awesome stainless tips that have "Flowmaster" embedded on the ends.
