Love the sound of my mufflerless '06, but it might be to loud for the neighbors. Kinda getting some dirty looks from people all ready . Can anyone suggest a good OEM replacement muffler that bolts in. I bought a replacement pipe that fits nicely but wondering if I should quite the beast a bit.

 

My neighbors hate mine...but its cool...I hate my neighbors.

 

you must really hate them to run a straight pipe

 

mbrp makes a good oem replacement thats not as loud as a straight pipe, but still sounds good.

 

I heard the donaldson was the way to go. I'm surprised that they think it's too loud? This is my second dodge with the muff delete and onless your hammering on it, it's really not that loud. Your neighbors must be like 80 or something. LOL

 

Get a stock Mega Cab resonator and I think you'll be very happy. Should be able to find them for nothing since so many go to aftermarket exhaust.

 

I have one if you need it. Hey guys where can I find a down pipe that replaces the cat and will mate with my Banks exhaust?

 

Dude! You will get used to it and so will your neighbors. I ran my 98 SPd for a while and that was way loud compared to my current truck. Give it some time. Your truck sounds great and you may be sorry if you change it....

 

Thats great, lucky for me I dont have neighbors, or I guess lucky for them.

 

I run 5" with nothing and the drone is getting old. I am thinking of putting a muffler back on it soon. I would look at some of these big truck places their mufflers arent as expensive as name brand places.

 

I got a good replacement, new neighbors!! My neighbors hate my truck, my roadrunner, the whole lot! But I told them that sound carries and I cant do anything about it. I am on my property so just deal with it. I cant help the fact that they go to bed at 8 o clock, she had the nerve to ask me to maybe park across the street and not in own dang driveway! The nerve .

 

HAHA, thanks for the advice guys. I was out running around a bit and getting used to it, do you guys think the engine quites a bit once you get up to full operating temps? Just seems a little deeper and controlled. Im kinda **** about exhaust sounds. Took some dB measurements before and after.

 

Yes the exhaust will quiet when it reaches operating temps and cruising speeds... and Donaldson makes a good muffler!!

 

i have the magnaflo 5" exhaust the drone did get old fast when pulling trailer so i tried the nelson 5" x40" overall length, sounds good still and the drone is tollerable.

 

yes it gets quite (a little) once it warms up but believe it or not, the sound will change a tad once you have the new pipe all coated with soot from the engine. I know it sounds funny but both of my 06's changed after a few hundred miles or so and somone on here attributed it to the soot build up.
