Exhaust upgrade

[dgram22]

I would like to change the exhaust on my newly acquired 2022 Ram 2500. I'm looking for a dual outlet cat back system that is close to stock decibel level but with a deeper tone. Has anyone found anything that will meet my criteria?

Easiest and cheapest is to just remove the resonator. Makes a great tone.

I looked into these guys: https://mpiexhausttechnologies.com they have 2 muffler choices. I decided to keep it single exit so I ended up having my local shop do a muffler swap and delete the resonator, its loud and proud for sure.

That doesn't give me the dual outlets. Won't that cause a drone?

I don't want it load, just a better tone.

No drone. Sounds awesome. Nice deep tone. Not obnoxious when crusing.
You could do a split right after the muffler and run to both sides whereever you wanted it. Any competent muffler shop can do it. Probably cheapier than buying a cat back system.

Check out the MPI guys; they do a dual exhaust option that isn't loud.

I see that in your build thread, you put in a Magnaflow. Did you do that at the same time as the resonator delete?

I'll check them out. Thanks.

I DID NOT put in a magnaflow.
Must be someone else's build thread. All I did was remove the resonator and tuck the pipe up close to the body out of the way where it should be. I still have the OEM muffler.

Like I said, no drone, not loud and obnoxious, but good low rumble.

I will be going to a local muffler shop to see what they can do. Thanks for the input.

Pipe is 3 1/2".
So make sure they can bend that
Or make a 3 1/2" to 2- 2 1/2" pipes to run out either side.

Good point!

I looked at their website. Looks like they don't use stainless. Also their warranty only covers their system if it's welded. Does not cover their clamped system.

Go to “performance mods”, hemi dual exhaust, posts 61-63 for the MPI system.

My last 2020 Laramie I chose the Borla sport system and had great aggressive tone under acceleration and zero drone under normal driving. Plan on same system for my 2022 Power Wagon.

I had MBRP on my 1500 Hemi and it sounded and worked great! It was a dual setup and was made very well. I plan on doing the same-ish setup on the 2500.: Shorties > Magnaflow Y-pipe > MBRP Single outlet.

MBRP apparently makes a single, dual outlet at the single location and a dual exhaust.
