cat back exhaust system
« on: February 20, 2013, 02:51:45 PM »
I want my hemi to sound more like a hemi and less like a sewing machine,soooooo I want to change the exhaust and i wondered if any of you have any opinions or recommendations on what sounds good,gives good performance and doesn't cause any issues with the check engine light coming on. It is a 2012 5.7 l hemi  ram 1500 4x4 crew cab. I have read good things about the Borla 140307 system but looking for any opinion thanks guys  :beer:

Magnaflow all the way , and it's stainless. Stay away from the cheap flowmaster crap , it'll just rust out.

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

i've heard Magna flow drones in the cab quite a bit but certainly cheaper than the Borla

Maybe in a car , but I doubt it in a truck as long as the exhaust exit's in the rear.

flowmasters suck. the drone is unbearable in ANY application. 

magnaflow is nice... fairly quiet.



gibson is neet, usually lower "tone" than most. more "truck" sounding.

corsa sounds like it would eat something alive for dinner and then spit the bones back out at you





none of which should have anything to do with your check engine light if its cat-back.

interesting... not sure what a muffler change would have to do with o2 sensors near the cats...

Good for you Gordo.  I have the same muffler on my 2012 Big Horn QC 4X4. 1 in 2 out, I like the sound.

I used to be a MagnaFlow dealer. Go with Magnaflow, they are the best performance wise. When they design a kit for a vehicle, it must make horsepower improvements or they won't put it out to market. They try several designs until they find one that makes the most power. Then they build jig for it so they come out perfect every time. Only I'm not a dealer is I'm too small of volume for them (I only sell 1 or 2 a year). I am still a MAC Performance dealer, but they don't do cat backs for Dodge or Chevy right now. They cut back to focus on Fords since that's what they started out with. Any way, I'm going with Magnaflow on my Hemi Ram. I think they're the best out there.
