^Thats what im thinking. Stock exhaust covers over the 4 to 8 cyclinder change though most of the time. I know I can pick it out in the pops '12 but its not horrible.

thanks for the help.

another thing you can do is hit the tow/haul button ....pretty sure that disables mds also

Yep not worth the dealer trip. The intake will make it louder also.

Doesn't running the tow/haul mode, or the manual shift mode disable O/D? I am pretty sure my truck always shifts down one gear when I do either of those two things...

Been a few months since I had my Hemi 1500, but I didn't think the TOW/HAUL locked out overdrive - it definitely does set the transmission in high gear (shutting off MDS).

Memories of hauling with that truck - so happy I'm operating the transmission instead of monkeying with that TOW/HAUL button.
