The correct MagnaFlow exhaust system for your 2011 Ram 1500 crew cab short-bed with 5.7L V8 will depend on the type of factory exhaust it came with. Kit # MF16869 is for trucks that have a dual exhaust from the factory. Kit # MF16870 fits trucks that do NOT have the factory dual exhaust. Both feature 3-inch tubing, 100% stainless steel of course. view full answer...
The two MagnaFlow crossmember-back exhaust systems you referenced, parts # MF15893 and # MF15897, differ primarily in their cost and pipe diameter, as you noted. Both systems are 100-percent stainless-steel exhaust kits that include all hardware, straight-through mufflers and a true X crossover to balance airflow for improved power.
I would stick with the 2-1/2-inch diameter kit # MF15893 unless you have the 4 barrel carb and are using a high-performance air filter. Air intake and exhaust... view full answer...
An exhaust tip will make mostly a cosmetic change to a vehicle. Tips will not change the nature of a car's exhaust note nearly as much as installation of a cold air intake and a cat-back exhaust. Those components literally change the nature of the car's respiration system.
If you don't mind what is perhaps a weird analogy to help explain this, if the CAI and exhaust are the "lungs" of the vehicle, then the exhaust tip is the "nostril". Its more visible but has less effect on performance.

A resonator exhaust tip can be considered as a cavity resonator in which the design causes the air to vibrate a certain way in a hollow cavity which produces a certain sound. They can be used in some systems to work with the muffler to reduce noise. But at the tip, a resonator exhaust tip will produce more noise versus a regular exhaust tip.
That loud, high frequency, reverberation sound you hear on import tuner cars is resonator exhaust. If that is the sound you are looking for, then... view full answer...
Typically, Magnaflow and Borla will sound very similar with Borla systems usually being a little bit louder. But really the best way to compare is to look up video clips of both systems on your vehicle on youtube and go with the one that you like better.
Also, since I am not sure which Borla system you are referring to it is pretty hard for me to speculate on how differently they would sound. view full answer...
In order to have a complete exhaust system for your 2001 Chevy Suburban you will need a cat-back system like a MagnaFlow Exhaust System # MF15798. Instructions link attached.
When it comes to catalytic converters the general consensus is that a ceramic converter will be more efficient at removing unburnt fuel, but the metal converters will flow better, which might give more power.
The ceramic converters recommended for your car are the:

On your 2005 Dodge Cummins Diesel with exhaust brakes, using the Tekonsha P-3 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90195, will not cause your trailer brakes to overheat on a long downhill. It will only apply power to the trailer brakes in proportion to the vehicles deceleration.
When using the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, # 90885, it will apply power to the trailer brakes only when the vehicles brakes are applied. So the trailer brakes will not be applied until you touch the vehicles... view full answer...
The Curt # C13386 and Draw-Tite # 76034 trailer hitches for your 2014 Ford Explorer both feature 2 x 2 inch hitch receivers, a Class III rating, and will not require drilling for installation.
When used with a weight distribution system, the Curt and Draw-Tite trailer hitches all allow you up to 500 pounds total tongue weight capacity and 5,000 pound gross trailer weight towing capacity. When not using a weight distribution system, the Curt hitch has a 4,000 pound towing capacity with... view full answer...
Curt offers a round tube Class III receiver, part # C13073, but to satisfy their warranty requirements, a stabilizer strap # 18050 needs to be used for non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier. If you intend on only using the receiver for towing, the Curt would be a good choice.
The Draw-Tite # 75684 is constructed of square-tube steel. Because of the spoiler on top of the hatch, the stabilizer strap will not work well on the Santa Fe, so for a bike rack or cargo carrier, the... view full answer...
There are two Class III hitches available for the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. The Draw-Tite Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # 75579, and the Curt Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # 13364.
Both of the hitches use a square tube design and will install in the same location on the vehicle. So they will all look the same on the rear of your Grand Caravan.
The difference between the Curt hitch, # 13364, and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75579, is the mounting bracket on the passenger side. The Curt... view full answer...
