Default 2012 ram 1500 Hemi aftermarket exhaust questions

Well I just purchased a brand new off the lot Lone star Edition Crew Cab Hemi Ram 1500.

I dont know about anybody else... But this thing is TO QUITE. That is no Beuno and after 4 days of owning this beast, I will be going to my local shop and putting on some Cherry Bomb Extremes, I have the dual exhaust with the special crafted bumper yatta yatta, But as you know its not a "True DuAl" setup. Its Y'ed after the cat. Im keeping all stock pipes and tips from before the axel back. The rest will all be custom and it will be "True dualed" out from the heads etc.

My question is, I know this thing has sensors ALL over it for temps, I see them in the dashboard LCD for exhaust etc. Will the truck throw error codes if they cut out the existing hardware? And will I see an annoying error code on my dashboard, also when i go to look at the temps will one of them be funny or show some error code as well? Im just wondering before i do this if anything special needs to be done?

You should be ok as long as you dont eliminate any sensors. Also, stay with the stock diameter size pipes or you`ll loose the lowend torque. And dont expect the MPG to be very good, it wont be after you open up the exhaust. Some will disagree, some wont, you`ll just have to see what happens with your particular truck in the end result with your MPG`s with the type of aftermarket exhaust choice that you`ll install. Just some wise advice in advance, buy ALL stainless so it dosent rust out within a year or two on you.
