Hello everyone. Well as the title says I am new to this forum and I have exhaust questions. If it's ok with everyone I'd like to give my background story (a short one) to get started. I started off with ram pickups with an 00 1500 with a 318. Soon after the purchase I swapped out the 318 for a 360 and removed the muffler and left the cat. Loved how it sounded then. Now I have a family and 3 little rug rats. Super loud exhaust isn't what I'm looking for anymore. I got rid of the 00 and got an 05 1500 5.7 hemi. Love the engine. Bought it in 2013 with 73000 miles. I was getting around 14 to 15 mpg until I hit 90000 miles. I would like to free up the exhaust flow a little but keep it tolerable. I pull a 17 ft camper and I don't want to hear the loud drone of exhaust as I pull it. I like I nice moderate tone. What I'm thinking of doing is removing the cats and the resonator and installing an aftermarket muffler. I prefer borla but that's a higher price than I'd like to pay. I'd like to stay stock size of exhaust tubing and single in single out. Anyone have any comments on what would be a good deal and what you think of what I'm planning on doing?
