Another exhaust question

[67440dodge]

Anyone have pictures of a truck on the lift with stock exhaust? Even better would be a measurment of the length of the stock muffler. I'm just kicking around ideas to whether to just replace the exisiting stock muffler with a single Magnaflow and keeping the stock tailpipe/resonator (if it exists). Not looking to rattle windows, just give it a little extra V8 rumble..

My experience in your situation:
You can still add pipe regardless of the size differences between stock and after market mufflers. Most shops will do the work for a reasonable price. It is also the cheaper way to go instead of buying a complete cat back system.

I did change out my stock exhaust but dont have any pictures on hand.

What I did was cut everything to include the resonator from the cat back and replaced the factory muffler with the Magnaflow 5"x 11" 3" single in/out straight through performance muffler all with 3" pipe and terminated with a 4" double walled tailpipe. Initially, I did not like the sound at all. I then added the stock resonator back inline and it was perfect. I think the resonator provides the right back pressure that the Coyote/10 speed needs.

IMO: The truck now sounds like a truck and has zero drone during highway cruising. There is a unique rumble at lower speeds(30-45) when the cylinder deactivation occurs, it sounds like a Merc G Wagon as it rolls by if you can understand that. It is not loud but it now definitely sounds like a V8 and not an ecoboost or like every other V8.

Going up through the gears sounds great when on throttle and gets loud when really on it but is still subtle when you want it to be. In Sport mode the gears hold longer and sounds throaty and mean and during deceleration, it sounds "GTish....if that makes sense. Kind of like rev matching when gears drop during deceleration. In cabin it sound awesome with windows cracked open and less awesome with windows closed. It is not a GT but it is also not an ecoboost.
Good luck finding your solution.

Thank you very much and your result after pulling resonator was same as when I did same on my Ram, drone city. Put it back on and it was nice and comfy. And sound you get is just wa hat I’m looking for, not o
