![]() If you don't already know what happens, I assure you, you will be completely surprised. I felt *compelled* to watch, even when the film was plumbing it's darkest depths and I was hanging over the edge of my seat feeling at my most unsettled and muttering to myself things like "mad" and "off key". I'm inclined to agree, as I picked the film up because I heard it was a thriller about normal people's dark, guilty secrets, which is always fun! I didn't really know much about the actual plot, and so, late last night, when I bunged it on the DVD with the idea of watching ten or so minutes before bed, I found that I couldn't stop watching it. Another surprise - it pretty much has nothing but raving user reviews the People have spoken. The resonator would allow you to tune the exhaust note a little more, but they'd probably have to be somewhat close together under the cab/bed, if you're going to split the exhaust foreward of the rear axle as most dual systems on trucks do.Go watch "The Quiet"! Quickly! I can't get over what a good film it is what a surprise! After watching The Quiet, I checked out its many awful critic reviews, then looked at it on the good old IMDb. ![]() The suggestion by someone else to run two units, one as a muffler and one as a resonator, is a good one. ![]() It has a nice tone to it and shouldn't have any drone. The Dynomax Super Turbo is likely one of the quieter mufflers that will also complement your engine. Some of the quietest mufflers you'll find (and the most restrictive) are the OEM replacements (usually through Walker) that you can get from Advance, Rock Auto, etc. I think the Quiet Flow you have identified will be your best bet. From what you're saying (even quiet is too loud), the Super Turbo (and most other performance mufflers) will be too loud. I had a Dynomax Super Turbo on my '97 Dakota with the 5.2L V8. Other things equal, like construction type, etc. In general more muffler volume means lower exhaust volume. Bottom line, I absolutely love them for an occasionally-driven muscle car, but I absolutely would not want them in a daily driver! Even at low RPM they're loud if you have the throttle pegged and are lugging. Its not RPM dependent, its throttle dependent. My 69 R/T has dual Magnaflows, and they're a very interesting muffler- they're quiet but beefy at idle and low power, but whenever you really open the throttle, its as if the sound "breaks through" the muffler and they get LOUD and very rappy. I find the factory system on my 08 Ram to be just about right, maybe just a tick on the too-quiet side. I like a bit of a v8 rumble in a daily driver, but not loud. But I've heard them used to good effect as resonators ![]() The sound is too 'hollow' and breathy for me, not enough low frequency rumble and too much loud blathery sound. I don't like Flowmasters as the primary muffler. If the Dynomax turns out too loud for you, you could always add a small resonator (even something like a single-chamber Flowmaster) in the tailpipe the way early Gen III Ram trucks did. I'd have to go with the Walker recommendation as well- either QuietFlow or Dynomax.
