I went thru 4 mufflers (not including the original AEV) before I found the sound I wanted. I really wanted to avoid using one at the rear but I had no choice for my level of comfort...'cause I am 40 
Very mild burble at idle, nice low tone at cruise and a growl at acceleration. Never embarrassing or obnoxious.

This is what I ended up with... I had the muffler shop move the glasspack type of muffler I had and they added a Dynamax muffler. The difference is night and day! Sounds like a V8 at idle, but a quite one... Then when it is floored between 5000-7000 RPM, it opens up and is fairly loud. It is perfect!

We have another Hemi scheduled for this week coming up. I would like to do a dual 2.5" with 2 mufflers this time. One under the cab, and a smaller one in the stock location with dual side tips. Kind of like a resonator.
