Exhaust Tone

[ALRedneck]

So my 2018 PW is no longer my DD and has retired to doing only truck things now. It is now the “farm truck” and putting an exhaust on it is a consideration. I lock out the overdrives when I tow/haul so the MDS won’t play a part in my consideration. I don’t want anything obnoxious but rather just a good ol V8 sound. It does sound better 55,000 miles later but wondering if I could improve on it.

Are you still stock exhaust? Not many "direct fit, bolt on" cat-back AM exhaust kits for the PW. I'm running Mangnaflow, I think Borla has a one, and several others or cobble one together from parts. A vendor or two on here specializes in exhaust. The Magnaflow is pretty tame until you stomp the accelerator. It comes with a muffler and resonator, I did keep the resonator.

I put a Magnaflow muffler and did a resonator delete on my 2014 6.4L HEMI truck. It sounded a lot better.

If you don't want any drone on the freeway around 1800 - 2100 RPM then leave the resonator on.

Good luck!

The base gibson exhaust will bolt on. They say it won't but it will. I have it on mine. Almost silent on the highway. Sounds great around town and on startup.

Yes, I’m completely stock. I wanted it quite as possible when it was my DD due to making Bluetooth calls.

Will keep the resonator on due to some of the towing will be several hours with the boat. I think the family would be put out with the drone. Thanks for the video. That sounds gooood!

That’s what I’m looking for. My 5.0 f-150 had that rumble until you got up to speed then it went quite. But it did sound as if the rumble was under the hood verse the tail pipe. Not sure how that was done.

Are those stainless now? I ran a Gibson years ago on a Suburban, but it was galvanized steel back then. Rusted out in a year or so and was done with Gibson..

 

[4xdad]

magnaflow is stainless

magnaflow is stainless the reason I cut the resonator was because it hung down so low

They have both options.

I done A Flowmaster Flow FX single inlet dual outlet on mine and too my surprise 0 drone and highway speed in 6th barley even know it there but when you want to hear it it there on accelerating love it

 

[ALRedneck]

Do we have a 3” or 3 1/2” pipe?

Mine Is 3 inch I went 3 inch inlet I went dual 2 1/2 outlets

I know he OE extension pipe is 3.5 in and assume the OE tail pipe is the same. FYI, the MagnaFlow kit's muffler has a 3.5 inlet and 4 in outlet and the tail pipe is 4 in.

I will post you a video of the sound of my exhaust on Thursday if you want?
I just installed a 19200 magnaflow cat back, it’s a 4 inch pipe with stainless tip. Have not seen or heard it yet but I have a feeling it’s exactly what your looking for.

Having one with a Borla and one with a Magnaflow I prefer the Magnaflow. Sounds better to me. Id keep the resonator. It will howl at certain RPMs if you do not.

Please post! I’m ordered one yesterday through a local shop. The magnaflow they quoted was only $475 so must not be as beefy as the one you have. They couldn’t figure out the tail pipe diameter over the internet and they have only worked on the 6.4 sports car engine that was dual exhaust.

There are quite a few bolt on exhaust systems.......basically anything that fits a regular Ram 2500 6.4 truck will fit a Power Wagon. I'm not aware of any differences at all in the exhaust systems. Flowmaster, Magnaflow, AFE, MBRP, Gibson, Borla
