Towing exhuast?
I have asked this question a few different places and would like your guys thoughts. I recently purchased a 2007 1500 QC 4x4 Hemi Ram. I cant stand not hearing my truck and need an exhaust! I like duals, but I am gonna be towing my recently purchased 23' travel trailer with my family this summer. I dont want and obnoxious system but I do want a nice deep tone that turns heads but doesnt give me a headache inside. I am worried about having the pipes come straight out the back facing the camper, will this cause any problems to the camper ie. heat, soot, gasses???? Some have said the gas engine dont create enough to hurt anyting other say it will. Also with it echo against the camper???? I want a stainless kit since I will be keeping the truck for some time, down to a gibson extreme dual kit which exits at the corners near the bumper, and the magnaflow dual kit that comes straight out the back. Both are nice kits but i just recently heard the gibson resonate real bad in the cab. Anyhelp is greatly appreciated! Thanks

I personally have the magnaflow exhaust. it is mild at cruising speed and idle but nice when you step on it . no drone in the cab at hiway speeds. I have heard great things about borla it angles out on each side after the wheels at a 45 deg angle so no soot on your camper.It is pricey though . MOPAR performance has an exhaust thats made by borla you might get a good price if you shop around

I run a aero turbine 2525 (2.5in) but thats with a4.7 I'd say go with a aero turbine 3030 (3in). To keep it quite when towinI ran the pipes at a 45 degree angle right under the corner of the bumper....its not loud enough to bother you on the highway but puts out a good deep tone and speaks up when you get on it....I can send you a pic of how the tips look out the back if ya want...and you can get gear it at this link : http://www.aeroexhaust.com/seehear.html

I have the Series 50 Flowmaster that goes straight out the back. It sounds pretty good. The only complaint that I have, is when I'm towing my covered snowmobile trailer, the exhaust sounds a lot louder. I'm guessing that's because the sound is bouncing off the trailer and I'm hearing it.I think the 45 degree exhausts are just as cool and provide a pretty good work around on the sound. I don't haul my trailer a lot, so it really isn't an issue with me. But somethng to consider.

RE: Towing exhuast?
From my experience with towing different trailers, duals straight out that back tends to be louder than I like (both gas and diesels), especially on long road trips. Most of my experience has been with aluminum trailers, and I'm sure they echo the sound much more than other types of materials. My truck has duals that exit at 45 degree angles, and it really doesn't seem to echo off the trailer. I'd go the angled route if you're worried about the extra noise.
