Nice truck

Sure hope they gave you a free gas for life card, cause those trucks with that Hemi are dinosaur killers!

Those trucks are actually pretty cool, for a Chrysler

A friend of mine got one and I installed a Cherry Bomb Extreme muffler, and it sounded AWESOME. They are Cherry Bomb's 1 chamber muffler. I kinda dig the sound, especially on that 5.7 liter. We just chopped the stock muffler off and welded this one in with a bit of pipe, and it sounds great out the stock tailpipe. You should search for Cherry Bomb Extreme on Youtube; there's a couple decent videos of it in action.

Just wait until you put gas in the trucks half a tank....not like filling up the mustang at a half of a tank. But it is a nice truck.

ive heard aero turbine 3030 mufflers on the hemi. a bit rattle-y, but the loudest setup ive heard.

i had a 2004 hemi before i had my stang. i loved that truck.

i had a 40 series flow on there, with 2 1/2" pipes to 3 1/2" tips. that sounded mean, but it sounds better and drives a ton better when you re-program it with a superchips flashpaq.

im sure you'll do better on MPG with the MDS. without that sytem on the 04, i was getting around 13mpg.

good luck with it.
