Pros: Nice Deep Tone
Cons: Little High Pitched In High RPMs

Nice Muffler. I went with the single inlet dual outlet on my 4.0L and it sounded pretty good. I didn't notice but maybe .5 mpg gain. I sort of wish I went with the 50 series.

Pros: Good flowing, good sound
Cons: Drones on freeway, louder than I wanted

This is a good product for somebody looking for a louder, deeper exhaust. It is that. It was a little louder than I had wanted for my own personal preference, I wanted something that gets loud in higher revs, but below 3k would still be relatively quiet. I ended up switching this out, because on the freeway it just got too loud and too annoying for myself. I don't expect it would bother most people, though. It is a good muffler, solid design.

Pros: Sound (VERY loud)
Cons: angry neighbors

I'm running this on my '99 4.0LSOHC, It's gotta nice hum at 1900RPM's, get's abnormally loud at 2800RPMs, and gets pretty noisy again after 5000RPMs. My only complaint is taht it doesn't sound classy, just loud. It's good for a V6 but it certainly doesn't sound like i thought it would.

Pros: fairly loud
Cons:

Replaced my 50 series with this. A huge difference. I bought stock 2 inch replacement tubing from autozone and the muffler from advance auto. I couldn't see spending an extra hundred dollars on the flowmaster kit for 2.5 inch piping. But it definitely sounds good! Spent under $150
