There are still some Carven Progressive system exhaust floating around the public for the 19 Ram which is why I asked so to make sure
The progressive is much bigger than what’s pictured. Hence why I mentioned the size bud. No worries.

Just finished installing the MF 19430 catback. Pic attached and trying to get the sound clip posted. Sounds incredible and after a short test drive, it is amazing!!

Nice!! Hope you are able to upload a clip. I just ordered the same setup (except chrome tips).

Why did you switch from Carven to magnaflow? Also did you have a Carven Progressive or Competitor?

It was the Competitor, they stopped selling the Progressive.

It was just ridiculously loud and the drone was outrageous. It would literally set off car alarms when I started the truck, and I would get a headache if I had to drive any more than 15 miles. To their credit, Carven customer service was excellent, and they gave me a full refund - it sounded like they were having some trouble dialing in the noise level and were considering pulling it off the market.

Would you clarify more on “though it’s not silent while cruising on the highway”?

Just that it's not luxury car whisper quiet. A little throttle gives you a little rumble. No drone though and totally manageable.

For those of you that have bought a cat-back - did you install it yourself or have someone install it? I'm debating this right now.....My Magnaflow set arrives Monday. TIA!

My dealer installed my manga flow for $165. Not worth my effort to do it. Brought it in first thing in the AM, they gave me a loaner, went to breakfast and shopped. About 12PM they were done. VERY HAPPY.

Thanks for sharing. I went underneath it tonight to take a look. I'm leaning towards having my local shop install it. Not having a lift this looks like it would be a PITA.....

I'm looking forward to some exhaust videos - I may be picking a different brand, but I'm a huge fan of the hemi with custom exhaust.

Around here there's several rebels, and ALL of us got aftermarket mufflers.
I got a borla, I think one of the others got a magnaflow, and the last gentlemen I never talked to - but by the sounds of it he just put a straight pipe to the engine LOL

I did it in my driveway in under 2 hours. Left side is difficult to remove without a lift or if you dont have air suspension. You can do it and will need an extra set of hands. Once it is out the Magnaflow catback is quick to install. Good luck

What setting did you have to put the air suspension on to get the left side out??

Question; if they claim the Magnaflow cat back system is 3" tubing, why are the clamps 2 1/2" and the tubing measures 2 1/2"?? Don't want to install mine just in case it is wrong!!

I didn't measure the tubing but the provided clamps and tubing fit perfectly. Give Magaflow a call to verify what you received is correct. On another note, if you opted for the black coating there was a smell for the first few miles after turning it off. Spoke to Magnaflow and was informed that is normal and would cease which it has. Let us know how it turns out.
