Default Bought a 2010 Hemi!!

I just upgraded from my sluggish 2002 3.9 Dakota to a 2010 Hemi and couldn't be more happy. I know, though, that I more than likely have the infamous broken manifold bolts and will have that fixed soon enough but am curious about an exhaust setup. I don't want to have any check engine lights on after whatever I get done to the truck but I would like it to have a deeper smooth grumble. Any suggestions on what I need to do? I know this has been covered a hundred times but I want to know everyone's opinions specifically for just a decent clean sound. Thank you all in advance

Hey, congratulations on the new truck. I own a 2010 TRX4 in black. As far as an exhaust setup goes, there are a few things that everyone agrees upon, 1st thing is that you want to move your muffler back as far as possible. If you just swap mufflers, you will get a pretty bad drone. I went with a Cat Back 22" magnaflow SI/DO custom exhaust from a buddy's shop. As long as you keep the o2 sensors, you wont get any CEL. Most people just do a CAT back exhaust system. With my setup, I have no drone issues and also cannot even tell when it drops to 4 cylinders. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
