It depends on how loud you like it. If it's too loud for you, a muffler will be an easy addition. I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

I mean it's not headers and 3" exhaust loud at least to me... the turbo quiets some of the noise. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram

I think it sounds like bad, it don't even sound powerful to me. Everyone around can hear when he leaves or comes home. I'm sure my neighbors would not like my truck that loud since I go to work at 5:30 in morning and let my truck warm up in the driveway 5-6 days a week.

I sat in the back passenger seat on a road trip pulling a camper trailer and it about drove me nuts. I couldn't hear crap besides the tailpipe. I generally like all things loud but that got old lol. 68 Barracuda Formula S 340

(This is coming from a guy who's daily driver was a 12.7:1 500" rb w/2" headers and 3" Hpipe,3" ultra flows and turn downs.) In cab drone was unreal. I now run a 5" pipe, short resonator, and 2 big muffs. All are straight thru design. It sounds great outside, in the cab, you can hear it but it is tolerable. Biggest difference in the cab came from adding a tip that put the end of the exhaust just out/past (2")from the bottom of the bed fender behind the tire.

I knocked the muffler & converter off of my 06, and after a 1000 mile round trip pulling a 38 ft camper to the sand dunes in Oklahoma, I couldn't get a muffler back on it fast enough. I hated it to say the least. The common rail trucks dont sound anything like the earlier trucks. They have a loud, raspy tone that will likely get on your nerves after awhile. I also would like to think I am pretty tolerant of noise but they are just too loud for my taste. 392 gen III hemi on E-85 727 trans Dana 60 10.02@134

If you have'nt done anything yet take a trip behind some of the Dodge dealers: the odd Gullible individual who spent too much time believing what he read on the internet will have their brand-new exhaust hacked off and thrown in the metal bin out back to put some gay-sounding aftermarket thing on. I've picked up more than a few this way and it's free (with permission from the shop hands). Mo' Farts Moderated by "tbagger".
