isnt it a 4.9 i6? 300 ci? thats a big 6. 44 would sound good. idk much about those motors, but usually chambered mufflers (flowmaster, maybe even spintech) sound the best/loudest on motors like that.

well i dont really like the way the 4.9 sounds with aftermarket exhaust. but i personally think flowmasters sound the best on the 4.9. now as far as loudest muffler, probably a glasspack, but then it would sound like crap IMO. what kind of diesel sound? theres too many types and sounds.

Flowmaster does sounddecent on 6cyls.

If you really want a diesel like sound a Corsa muffler might help it sound like so, or a little like a Corvette, they have hardly any bass to them.
