I want a new muffler for my sport. I don't want the obnoxious hillbilly noise (I only like loud ass cars) but a nice tasteful growl. I was looking at borla because that's what my charger had but that was the Atak and that was very loud. Note I don't need a full exhaust just the muffler and I don't want to do true duals just yet.

Direct fit or do I need to have a shop weld it up?

go with mufflex they have a choice of 14 inch aggressive 18 inch moderate and 24 inch not loud but gives a nice rumble. all use the magnaflow polished stainless muffler and stainless clamps and are direct fit all parts to install. I tied the 18 inch I found it too droney but you might like the semi aggressive sound I changed to the 24 inch has a nice deep tone and not droney its your choice.

I'm very happy with my Flowmaster Super 40. Nice sound but not too aggressive. Needs to be welded in though.

I had mine welded since I only had single exhaust and upgraded to dual,

I have MDS turned off, did not like the sound when under eco conditions

I just got the 14" Mufflex kit put on last week. I like it a lot. The Mufflex shop is actually only 20 minutes away from me. When I went to the shop I heard a 5.7 HEMI with the dual exhaust and the 18" kit and it sounded nice, real nice. I was informed however since I have the single side exhaust set up to go with the 14" kit if I wanted it to sound comparable to the dual set up. I don't think that's it's actually as loud as the website states it to be. When the truck is started you can hear a rumble then just a nice tone. Under normal acceleration you can tell it has a aftermarket muffler but it's not that bad at all. When you step on it that's when it's loud. I was playing around with it today and when down shifting gears manually I like that it's a nice sound all the way down, no "popping". I also like that when I asked about the warranty I was told by the owner, lifetime. If I ever have an issue just come in and the will take care of it.

I am actually going to give them a call tomorrow and see what they can do about putting in a new y pipe.

I run 18 inch magnaflow. Welded it in myself. MDS drone sucks with all aftermarket mufflers. I had 40 series flowmaster. 50 series HD and now the magnaflow. The magnaflow is pretty quiet. Sounds good when your in the loud pedal. I shut my MDS off. I think the MDS sucks
