So whats that big ole muffler where the H-PIPE should be? has anyone cut this out and just put pipe in its place? how does it sound like this? also how do the rear mufflers sound gone has anyone put flowmaster super 40s on or a comparable exhaust system? when you do the exhaust do you pull both the big muffler and the rear 2 or just the rears? all input is appreciated

Stock system has a perfectly good "H" pipe !!!
Problem is with the suitcase muffler __ way to restrictive -- I as well as several others have "cut out the suitcase" behind the " H " pipes and have replaced it with flo-master dual chamber mufflers running to Mandrell bent pipes.This gave me the true " HEMI" burbble that I was looking for. BTW, if you have to ask what a burbble is, and you are concerned about having an acousticle exhaust, just grab ahold of one of the cat-back systems.

so how about if i just pull the suitcase off and leave the stock rear mufflers that you can see. does that sound good. i like a loud car ie straight piped cummins truck

If you truly like a loud sound definately pull out the suitcase and Mandrell bend pipes out to 3 1/2" tips ( I had 4" put up but just didn't look right).The sound was exactly what I was looking for.The only drawback is that under 1200 RPM it does drone so you have to "play in 4th.in order to keep MDS from bogging.At appox. 85 MPH on a trip cabin noise is noticable.As NR & I have discussed on earlier posts, this can be remidied by adding 12" glass packs before the tips.Personally, I enjoy the clean lines of not having the " bulging "resonators exposed in the rear.

Just remember that the car comes stock with perfectly good tuned H pipes, and my opinion is that if it aint broke -- don't fix it.
I'm a very happy camper with my set-up.But then again, we all know what opinions are like !
