I had the resonator cutoff, and a magnaflo installed with the exhaust pointing straight down to **** off everyone around me. Drone is from the muffler being under the cab. Tempted to run straight pipes when I get a WK sliders maybe poke em out the sidewall of the bed in front of the tire.

I ran with no resonator for a year.
Cheapmod and better than full stock.

Peice of advice, just remove the end pipe after the muffler.
No sawsall needed and the resonator can be reinstalled if needed.

After a year, I put a Magnaflow direct replacement muffler 19493 and boy am glad to have kept my resonator intact.

That muffler without a resonator sounds like a bad straight pipe. Super drone, way too loud and just bad sounding ( IMO )

Yessir we need a RAM 2500 6.4 of any trim level for the day for R&D at Solo Performance. Anyone interested message me for details.
So...isn’t that exactly what you have? Lol! If I wasn’t 6 hours away I’d volunteer. I’m sure a local Ram dealership would participate with the promise of a free prototype in return.

Having it come out the back and cutting the pipe down helps cut down on some sound, as the pipes aren’t dumped right under the cab. I’ve been running with a muffler delete and cut off resonator for two years and love it. Deep muscle truck rumble at idle, and loud as hell without the rasp at high RPMs that the resonator creates.

Good to know
Must be the magna flow who twist things up

for me it was the thought of dropping down on it while wheeling and wrecking something else or getting hung up on it

This. I saw someone with a muffler at PWIM pinch it on a rock, then somehow it got folded up inside the axle/bed area. Luckily someone had a battery powered reciprocating saw and we cut it off on the spot.

Ya man, I actually like this look and it’s easy to do. Good job. I sprayed a satin clear on mine over the black for durability FYI.
Took the idea from @ZLAYER...had a black tail pipe welded and sprayed the resonator with flat grill paint...00 then 000 steel wool and 2 coatsl....looks way better imoView attachment 240842
