I recently ordered and put on the Borla Touring system. I was very impressed with the sound and quality of the system, but it was just way too loud for me, especially since I've had a quieter Type-S systems on a '15 Mustang in the past. This truck is a bit more of my Cadillac and less of a hot rod for me, and one of the things I like about it is how quiet it is in the interior. Now don't get me wrong, the stock exhaust is way too quiet, but after I put on the Touring you could hear it at all times, and even felt some vibration in the steering wheel. It sounded freaking awesome but I don't think my neighbors would appreciate it at startup in the winter. I knew if I took my partner for a ride in it, she would kill me. Heck, it even spooked my dogs which usually are in the back seat. ![Oops! :oops: :oops:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So, I looked into the optional resonator 60667 to tone it down: 2019-2022 Ram 1500 Connecting Pipe Part # 60667
I listened to some vids and read some threads, and some said it was enough while others said still too loud. I figured it probably would still be too loud for me too, and I'd rather have too quiet than too loud. So I searched the Borla website for something else that might work and came up with part 400500: Universal Muffler Part # 400500
To make sure it would work, I called up Borla. The gentlemen I spoke with did say yeah, all their systems are very loud on the Rams, and the Rams are just loud to begin with. I asked him if the 400500 would work on the midpipe and he said he didn't think of a reason why not. He said they came up with this muffler to test with the Heliphant motor, so he was sure it could handle the application. I thought it would do more to quiet things down than the resonator, so I decided to give it a shot.
I also ordered two Accuseal clamps as they don't come with this universal muffler - Borla 18330: Accessory Part # 18330
From the mid-pipe, a friend and I cut from the factory resonator weld back exactly 24":
