I might be interested in it as well! Still can't decide on the Carven, my flowmaster 40 is starting to get old, and I want something a bit deeper. My exhaust guy suggested switching over to the flowmaster super 44, but I'm thinking this Carven might be good for something different and possibly deeper tone!

I've recently had a couple PM request to post sound bites of my Carven Competitor Series Exhaust.
I looked back in my phones video archives and found a few from a couple months ago .
Trust me these videos do this exhaust no justice at all , I personally think it sounds much better in person and a lot louder . Keep in mind these are crappy cell phone videos .
I took these while filming the instrument cluster so one could see data such as RPM , SPEED , OIL & WATER TEMPS & OIL PSI AND SUCH .
Enjoy !

I'm not sure how I posted that video above , but if you go to youtube and search 14 Ram Carven Competitor Series Exhaust you will find 5ea of my videos there quite easily.

Hope this helps !

I have several different variations of this video on YouTube , with different RPMS / normal acceleration and moderate to just above moderate and one near WOT (Wide Open Throttle )

Just search youtube for (14 Ram Carven Competitor Series Exhaust )
IMO the sound is much better than what the video sounds like ! And LOUDER as well . An overall good tone and even when in the --Drone Zone -- the the exhaust still has a better than factory Cadence as far as I'm concerned.

Hope this helps !

Dang, that sucks for both of you. I had to do the same when I have my Borla muffler dumped before the rear axle, was too much for the wife.
I've got great news ! The wife said she doesn't want me to remove my Carven Competitor Series Exhaust because she knows how much I like it , and when she's having a headache we will just take on of her cars !
She has a 07 Magnum and a 16 Challenger RT Plus both with stock exhaust ....

I will either be going progressive on my truck. Or getting wheels. Decisions. Exhaust and level. Or wheels.

I'd say get the Carven & bilstiens 5100 for the level , then get the wheels later

You def dont live on the rust belt of New England then. My tips alone took over an hour. Clamps were rusted.. used a grinder to pop em off then the pipes were rusted together.

Southern Louisiana, but the truck was only 6 months old so that definitely helped.

Installed my Carven TR Progressive Friday! It sounded great from the start but after a few days I can tell it is starting to break in. The tone is getting even better and the truck has learned the new muffler I think. Only thing is that my tips didn't line up straight. The passenger side one sticks out an inch or two now... But I don't care, it sounds fantastic.

Same with mine, the passenger side sticks out more than the driver's side. I'll be fixing it in the next couple weeks though lol

Yeah I suppose there is a way to finagle it so it looks right again. But for now I am just enjoying the sound!!

I believe you just need to loosen the clamps and wiggle it in or out accordingly.

Yes I am hoping it is that simple... Everything seemed to butt up nice and flush though so I am not sure that will work. I have to look at it again but I am a procrastinator now that it is on...

Yeah same here, my pipes were pretty much butted together with no more room for shortening the length. I think my passenger side sticks out about 1/2" more than the driver's side.
