If you do a FULL exhaust you can get upwards of 40RWHP. This would include headers, high flows (or no cats) and a cat back. The popular cat back for the SRT Ram is Magnaflow. Check out the DIY section of the site, I wrote up how to do the install.

Never ran her with just the cat's. Might be alright....or it might effect your back-pressure...as long as you don't mess with the flow.
I'm running the magnaflow catback, and X-Metal Eng. mids without cat's.

I also might add that the o2/sensor is located in the middle of the cat's. If you cut-off the back one the o2 will not know it's gone. (NO engine lite)

Yes, it ia a lot louder without cats.

Is the Magna flow a cat back or just a muffler? You should be able to tell from the tips (would say magnaflow).

X-Metal does not make a cat back. They only make the mid-pipes to increase flow and eliminate the cats, or put in high flow cats.
