Are you looking for full blown exhaust or just a muffler? I've heard for muffler's, your best bet is the Vibrant...for full blown exhaust, Borla or Dynomax...

I have Dynomax 2.5" piping and the 2.5" dual outlet Dynomax muffler on my car with a 2.5" Magnaflow Cat on my car and I love it. It almost sounds like what an SRT would if it had a muffler...i'll have to try and get a clip of what it sounds like, it's different than anything I've heard personally.

The Borla is really expensive, but the build quality and the sound are unmatched. If I get a chance, I'll take a picture of my exhaust. The exhaust has over 60k miles and it looks like new. The only thing is... I don't know if the tips will line up on the R/T rear. I'm sure someone can confirm that for me.

no they don't line up on the rear... everything else you and I said makes up for it...

I love the sound of the R/T dual exhaust. But if you want to go louder, the Vibrant sounds awesome but might constrict a horse or two. Plus the Vibrant hangs down pretty low. (I had it on my 01 SE)
I say go with the SRT-4 rear.

Well liz, you know what my car sounds like with the SRT rear and a 31" glasspack.

i cant beleive no one has reccomended the thermal r/d. sure its expensive but "suppose" to be the best choice for the r/t. i got it on mine and the quality is AWSOME...sound well it can be pretty raspy. if i was to do it again i might go with the borla but its crazy pricey isnt it?

Raspy? yes when cold but after warm up I like mine.

If anything get the Thermal. It fits the RT bumper unlike the Vibrant and sounds pretty good.

why do you say that? i found it actually made a difference... in terms of axle backs thats pretty descent.

Huh? I was agreeing with you guys who are recommending the Thermal R&D. I had the full catback on my non r/t and loved it.

I'd have to go with the Thermal as well...

Sounds even better on the white car

The thermal is great but you can also go with this which is also an awesome system

If you want a catback I think that would be your best bet but if not just go with the thermal

Do this, good option, and will work well with later mods; Cheap!!! Also, the R/T exhaust stock setup is really good, and free flowing also it is 2.25" all the way through with no reductions like the SXT 2.25" exhaust. The only bottleneck I see is possibly the downpipe/cat which looks like it is restricted down to 2". If there were a way to replace the downpipe/cat with a 2.5" setup and 2.5" high flow cat to 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust, I think that would be best for the magnum engine. IMO.

Alluminized steel will rust which is what the Dynomax stuff is made out of.
I would only go with stainless steel

The thermal is nice, I heard it on diablo0's car a while back, and it sounded very nice but alot of people dont like the vibrant because of how it looks and hangs low.
