    5.7L Hemi Muffler

    As preparation for when i destroy my muffler on a rock.... has anyone swapped out the muffler on their Hemi?

    2 things I'm worried about

    1) I dont want it too loud and I don't want drone on the highway.... listening to my kids whine on long trips is bad enough!

    2) I don't want it to sound like crap with MDS (no, im not turning MDS off... lol i need all the mpg help i can get!)

    To save cost, I'm pretty sure I'll just pick out a muffler and have it welded in when the time comes.

    I did cat back with flow master 50 series suv W/3". its not that bad as unless you in it you don't hear alot. I can't answer about the mds part, mine is turned off. Once it stops raining up here I will do some sound clips

    Ive got the flowmaster 50 muffler only, its then welded to the stock rear piece. Its loud when are you WOT, has a small drone on the highway but not annoying and you can hear when the MDS come on. I like the sound it makes not to much but I will be doing a straight pipe from muffler cause I want it to be loud. Keep in mind I have the intake on, before it wasnt as loud as it is now. Honestly if you arent on the throttle much like I am you wont notice to much of a difference.

    Unfortunately my stock muffler survived another off-road trip..... those 50-series sounded great on your vehicles, definitely going that route when a can opener snags my stocker!
