Alright guys I have a 2002 Ram with the 5.9 Magnum in it. First year of the new body style but with the 2nd gen motor. I've been looking at getting a dual exhaust put on and I'm unsure of what size pipes to get and muffler.

I've looked at the magnaflows and I really like the sound of them but don't know what size muffler to get, I want an aggressive sound and loud but not too loud. I've seen 3" duals and 2.5", which is better for performance and sound wise. Just lookin for some advice and any other muffler options that sound great on the truck is much appreciated.

magnum, 5.9
I run 2.5 inch dual pipes with a Vortex and have always been happy.

That being said, I wished I had installed a single 3 inch system. Less hassle. I always seem to breaking tailpipe hangers.

Go with the 14" Magnaflow. A single in/dual out might be a good choice. 2.5" inlet/3.0" outlet.

Do you have a link for it because all I'm seeing is 3" inlet/2.5" outlet

I have the magnaflow 3" in 2.5 out and i love it. You wont be disappointed and i think that they have it backwards. We have a 3" inlet. At least my 02 5.9 did. Go with either the 2.5 dual or 3". I also go the magnaflow 3 chamber xl muffler, nice deep rumble but not obnoxiously loud.
