Since getting thus 2021 1500 Crew cab, I've been researching exhaust systems. I'm down to Carven, MGRP, and B2 Fabrucation. Had Flowmaster 40 series on my 2015. Any suggestions on these 3? Thanks.

Out of those 3 I like the MBRP. It is a very personal preference though. People like different tones and decibel levels. Also some are more sensitive to drone than others. If you would like a quote on anything please feel free to message me.

Just to add, one thing I can't stand is a raspy exhaust. The MBRP had a bit of rasp to it. Which was the main reason I sold it and got the Carven.

Also another reason I haven't put anything on my 6.4 2500. Every muffler/catback system I've heard on YT sounds raspy AF on the 6.4. Thinking it's the restriction in the "Y" pipe that causes it.

Do what you want, did a muffler delete but kept the resonators on my 5th gen
Cant beat the price point and the sound is not over powering

Hemi 5.7, supercharged
I've got carven on my supercharged 22. After about 2 years, it's starting to be an annoying system. It's loud AF. And cause I'm in a RCSB, it's close to the cab. I'm evaluating Flowmaster outlaws and other round bullet type mufflers to replace the carven product. It's not a bad product, I think my ears are starting to convince me I'm over 50.

Not killing the muffler. I don't want screaming loud. Just a nice rumble. These 3 manufacturers are on my list. Haven't heard of them so why I was asking. Thanks.

I'm running a custom made y-pipe to a Magnaflow catback system with their 14" muffler, to a set of 5" tips.
Really nice deep sound at idle, and at WOT it's really bassy.
It doesn't sound raspy and doesn't scream either.

OP has a 1500 with 5.7, while they are both Hemi's they do have a bit of a different sound and exhaust configuration. The 6.4 in 2500/3500 is much more raspy than the 5.7 1500's

I'm talking about the two 1500's with 5.7's I've owned. I don't have an aftermarket exhaust on my 2500 since they all sound terrible.

Do what makes you happy. Just a recommendation. It is not screaming loud without the muffler as long as you KEEP the resonators.

I put a Magnaflow 4 inch system on my Ford 7.3 diesel. I ran it for years and never realized how loud it was until I got a 2022 Ram diesel. I like the quiet and have plenty of power and plan to leave the exhaust system alone this time. Hard to say why so many people throw away their wheels and tires, change the exhaust and lift everything. I like stock trucks.
