Default exhaust + wheel/tire suggestions

I'm going to be honest guys, I do not know a lot about performance parts for trucks.
I have a blue crew cab sport.. Looking for tire/wheel and exhaust suggestions. I do not want it to sound to "gurggaly" if that makes sense; my friend has the flowmaster 44 series and i wouldn't want that on mine. Something that tells people you're around when you start your truck, but you aren't trying to make someone crap in their pants.
As far as the wheel/tires.. I'm not sure if i want to lift it (if i did it would be a 4 inch, i have to park in garages with lower clearances), but if I did what would you guys go with, or if I didn't lift? I'm looking into getting them by the end of this week (spring break for me) or else I wont have time during school. So I'll definitely post pics in a few days!

Well for exhaust you could go with a 50 series or 70 series muffler. Remove the resonator if you want it a little louder once the muffler is in. Exhaust choice is different for everyone, go on youtube and listen to different setups or find some new rams with exhaust at your local dealerships (demo vehicles)

i would go with the 6, i mean you pay the same either height BUT if you get the the 4 you could wish for something taller and if you get the 6 you'll most likely not wish for smaller. Just throw some big 35's on there and not 37's. Choosing a lift is relevant to how much you're willing to spend. Procomp or superlift are good economy choices but if i had the dough i would probably go for the BDS. Not too many choices right now though....

for exhaust i would go with the magnaflow muffler kit they have on ebaylook at the 18" muffler or the 24",the factory dual is already stainless from the muffler back so you really dont need a cat back there wont be any major difference in power just alot more money,and as for lift the factory 20" rims have 33x11" tires stock so i dont see why with proper backspacing you couldnt get a 34x11.5-35x12.5" tire with the 2.5" leveling kit

You said you want it to fit in your garage? How much clearance is there right now? Mine will not fit in my garage at all and parking garages are scary.

Check out the Mufflex systems online. They have a new '09 Hemi truck design system you just swap for the stock. Just ordered the "mellow" version & won't install for about a week or two. Will post results then. All Stainless with 3 magnaflows to choose from. No welding, designed to be very easy install.

Yup, Mufflex has 3 options.

And when it comes to rims & tires, there are thousands of options. It depends on what you like....

If you can, create a sound clip before and after. I say before b/c each camera picks up sound differently, so this way it will be easier to compare.
