Hey yall. Just bought a 2012 1500 with a Hemi. Everything is bone stock. I have the single exhaust set up on mine. should I just delete the muffler and let it ride, single pipe bolt on, duals? Never owned a hemi before so I don't know what the engine prefers.

its really preference in style I think.

If you wanted to stay with a single exhaust I would say ( 3.25 - 3.5'' ) cat back.

Duals = 3'' in / dual 2.25 - 2.5" out.


The factory choke point is the ( Y-Pipe ) connection. it is cramped together pretty bad. If you can swap that out with a simple Magnaflow replacement Y-pipe connection, and then have a MANDREL BENT exhaust out the back your truck will rumble like a smitten kitten lol
