Banks Monster exhaust is not that loud. Also, I hear good things about the Donaldson muffler.

You're better off just buying fuel instead of an exhaust system, IMO.

You don't need anything larger than stock. Stock exhaust on an '06 is already 4" and can support over 600hp no problem. It doesn't make much sense to replace the stock 4" with an aftermarket 4". You won't see any MPG improvements doing that. Any bigger and it will get MUCH louder.

Get you a Donaldson, Nelson, or Flo-pro muffler. That will be your best bet.

any aftermarket exhaust is going to have a "drone", but many companies have "hush" systems. i haven't looked lately, but i'm sure they are still out there. a 5" will increase fuel econ. and drop your egt, but will most likely have a deeper tone also. just a comment

Dodge stock one. I'm running a stock system with a Shuttleworth H.D. diesel muffler. Slightly louder than stock but zero drone. I've driven an '05 with Banks catback and it was louder than mine but no drone either. My friend's got a 5" Magnaflow turboback that drones him to death.
