06' 1500 5.7L Hemi - looking at flowmaster exhaust
I recently bought a 06' 1500 QC 5.7 Hemi, and like most i wanna hear what that engine is cookin.
I'm looking at flowmaster exhaust system as recommended by my sisters boy friend. He has a first gen ram 1500. Would it be worth it to buy a kit for the exhaust or buy the muffler then buy all the pipes?
i searched through the kits and came up with this...
http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/pr...oducts_id=4072
I see that that particular kit comes with a 50 series muffler, this is why im debating whether or not to just buy a muffler and all the pipes seperate because im leaning towards the 50 HD. thoughts please
If i would go with just buying the muffler seperate i was looking at this...

Thoughts or experiences with the 50 HD?
And of course one big question is for the 50 series including the HD, how loud is it when idling/accelerating. I realize i will lose some "lvl of loudness" while speeding up for example goin on the highway, just curious though if it will sound beastly or like a little kid pushing around his fake lawn mower that makes clicking sounds. lol
also does anyone know if putting on a flowmaster would void the warenty on my truck in any way?
thanks
EDIT: One other thing that i've been wondering about, would I be able to put a "true" duel exhuast on my truck?

I would get the kit, it will give you a dual exit and eliminate the resinator.
50 series would be quieter than the 40, which many put on their trucks, but the 50 is plenty loud enough, especailly after it breaks in.
Keep in mind, your have MDS, when your MDS kicks in on the highway your nice V8 exhaust note will change.....
