There is a Chevy here at work with it, it sounds tough... I can't imagine how much better it'd sound on a Ram. Youtube time...

There is definitely a power gain. As for mileage...I can't keep my foot off the gas so I am not too sure! I will be taking a 500KM trip this weekend and will let you know if I see any difference in mileage.

I noticed a little more snap off the line. As far as MPG, before the conversion I was getting 18-19 highway, 13-15 city.That was in August, different weather and gas(summer gas)After a 650 mile trip each way, I was getting 18 1/2-19 highway and 14-15 city.That was with winter temps and winter gas.Also I added a tornneau cover after the summer numbers. I'm sure this summer the MPG will be up not down.

P.S. My conversion was from single in to single out to single in to dual out.I threw away the single pipes and resonator.

I am also looking at buying a magnaflow system. Curious what kit you ordered? Do you remember the part #? I am looking at the 16869 kit.

Thanks in advance

I ordered the 870 kit(3.5" tips) the 869 kit has the 5" tips. I thought it would look too large for my case. As far as the muffler being 18" or 22", it's 22", just visited the Magnaflow website.........................................Ke vin.
