RE: Catback Exhaust sound questions
I have the MagnaFlow installed on my truck and I think it sounds much nicer than the Flowmaster. I dont have the resonator at all on my truck and when the MDS kicks in its not that much of a difference, I mean come on at 70 mph you wont hear much at all when someone goes by you unless you have an open exaust. Idle is a really nice sound, I have people ask me all the time what kind of Flowmaster I have and when I tell them I have a MagnaFlow they ask me what is that. When I give my truck gas, its a really great sound and all the way through the powerband it sounds great. When you are on the hwy the sound is not bad at all either, it just gets a little loud when I pass cars thats all. It all will boil down to what you want to spend and what you have heard the most, I am MagnaFlow for life now I will never go back to a Flowmaster but it all depends on what you want more than anything.

RE: Catback Exhaust sound questions
I had a 2005 Hemi QC and had installed a FM40. Single cat, single in, dual out with 3" to the rear coming out at the corner of the truck (at the end of each bumper). Looked nice, but the f'ing thing was TOO LOUD. I hated it. My neighbors hated it. Everyone hated it. Period. Too much cab resonance.
I traded it in for a2006 Power Wagon QC with a Hemi. Now looking underneath (everything's undercoated, by the way, with black paint/undercoating - looks nice), it has dual cats to a dual-in muffler with single out. Hmm, interesting. Dual Cats!! Never saw this before. It opens up alot of possibilities. I also own a 2006 Ram Srt-10. That has a huge muffler that's 2-in and 2-out. I was thinking about gettting that muffler from the factory and the factory dual pipes from that vehicle and setting it up the same way. It's quiet, yet roars when I jump on it, and it uses that 304 Stainless exhaust.
Most of the other custom exhuast systems I've seen and heard are not 304, they are thinner tubing and tinnier sounding, like what I had on my '05.
What I'm looking for is a quiet quiet quiet throaty rumble, not theloud obnoxious crap I had with those FM40's where I can barely hear the radio or hear someone on the phone without them complaining and asking what is that noise in the background... SoI'm even afraid to get the 50's after the FM40's experience.
What do you guys think is the best course of action for this setup? Factory SRT-10 exhaust that uses 304 Stainless, factory dual exhaust that alsouses 304 Stainless (found in the accessories catalog), or Magnaflow?
So far I've found this (Magnaflow SRT-10 replacement, dual-in, dual-ou, to the rear including stainless tips):

RE: Catback Exhaust sound questions
yes mine issingle in dual out but the 70 series comes dual in dual out also. The interior noise level isnt that bad there is a slight drone when cruising on the highway at 75 but nothing you cant talk over. I went with the 70 cause i didnt want it to loud and im not sorry I love it.
