I have a 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn . Curious as to see what people think? The shop I’m going to this Saturday has both. Which do I go with?

I got a 5.7.

Carven. Although i dont have mine installed yet (waiting to be delivered) from all the ones i looked up on youtube cideos, the carven sounded the best to me.

Is all subjective really, what i may like you dont and vice versa. Cant go wrong with either really

I have the flowmaster fx. Has tone, but it's "civilized". The flowmaster Outlaw is a more robust tone, but I drive long trips and hearing that roar for 20 hours can be a little irritating. I'm not 21 years old anymore.

You want it more robust?....have them remove the resonators.

Resonation is what gives you the headache on long trips! I abhor it because of my advanced age. I found that longer mufflers help some, but resonators are a definite must, IMHO!

Flowmaster ... American Thunder! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT no drone, throaty but this will not get your neighbors screaming at you. Plus ... I gained 2 mpg. 2019 4x4 Larime, new body 5.7. Easy install. Went thru Discount Bandit and save over $100

My tuner said Flowmaster is great if you want that sound but not a good choice for performance (better options out there). Take that however you want.

I currently have Magnaflow and don't really like it. Something inside the muffler came apart (about year old) that you can hear rattle around. Def don't want it to come apart internally and block exhaust under boost as it can do motor damage. I have a Corsa exhaust going in now. Will post video of both.

Run a X pipe, with dual Borlas and dual bottle resonators near the tips. It will sound great.

I guess you've already done what you're gonna do but here's my 2 cents.

I put an 18" Mufflex/Magnaflow on my '15 with Moe's 5" tips. It was one of the best sounding vehicles I've heard.

I put a Borla Type-S cat-back on my '20 and it sounds even better. It reminds me of a vintage Chris Craft - totally burbly and moderately (but not obnoxiously - to me...) loud.
