Question Muffler Question

I am thinking of a Magnum engine to CTD conversion; however, the only thing I'll miss is the exhaust sound. Is there a muffler to make it sound more like a gasser? Thanks!!

By the way it would be cheaper to sell your current ride and buy a used diesel than doing the swap.

True, but this dude HAS experienced the roar of a well tuned fuel injected Magnum pulling a 5,000lb. load... with no muffler or cat..... but no, as of yet, I've not heard a straight-piped Cummins

You can compound what that little "Magnum" can pull many times with the Cummins. Don't worry Little Brother, your still driving a Dodge...

Well thats the problem right there; 5000lbs is no load for a CTD! If thats all the weight your pulling, keep your gasser. If your going to pull signifigantly more, then get a CTD!
