Running two mufflers of any kind will make it quieter.

No, running a flowmaster in reverse will really hurt flow, and probably drone really bad. Look in to reversible mufflers like cherry bomb vortex or magnaflow.

Truck looked good. Really made me miss mine. I might have to start looking for one to work on.

Anyone know of a member with a lifted black 97-98 sport with the pearl colored flares, lift shackles, and Explorerforum.com and cherrybomb decal on the back window? I saw the truck at TGI Friday's in Langhorne tonight, March 8th around 7:30. Reminded me of my old sport since it had the same...

Instead of using an electric cutout where response time is important, how about using a pneumatic cylinder or valve rated for height temps? Rigging something up with a solenoid using an rpm switch shouldn't be hard at all. Plus response times will be almost immediate. You would just need an air...

Agreed. Whatever happened to learning how to control your vehicle in the conditions you want to drive it in? I wish we didn't have all this new traction control, stability control, drive by wire etc. Put the responsibility back into the driver, not the manufacturer. That said I like these new...

I really wanted to like it, but it just got too loud and ricey on me. I did have the 14" body magnaflow though. My setup was 2.5" cat back with a 3" tip. Like I said, I tried to like it, but as it broke in, it just didn't sound right. The first few weeks it sounded good, but then it just got...

I had the magnaflow on my ohv. Only lasted a few weeks before I got rid of it for being too ricey. The pro had a better sound with my set up. I did have the rear cat hollowed out so that probably had an effect on the sound..

Basically what you found is that your current muffler is the biggest restriction in your exhaust. Switching to a higher flow muffler should cause the crayon to melt or discolor. I would keep the tailpipe because in the end it will sound better. But I have to disagree and say that with the...

Not sure since I've never tried it, but I'm assuming you draw the line down the pipe while the engine is cold, then run the motor. Take it for a trip on the highway for a few miles running the engine like you normally would. The point at which it stops melting is where you need to dump the...

Cherry bomb extreme would be louder. Not sure how it would sound on the ohv.

The term backpressure is used in the wrong sense. What you want is exhaust velocity. Smaller pipes keep the velocity high which help with scavenging. The smaller the pipes, the less surface area to cool the exhaust gases. When the exhaust gases cool too much, you create turbulence and...

If the x-pipe will fit, go for it, but I doubt the glass-packs are factory since since most modern mufflers look like odd shaped tin cans. I mean, if you can make everything fit, go for maybe it will sound good. Post pics up of what you got. Dan

If none of the shops will let you use your muffler of choice, find different shops. I've had decent luck with the Meineke where I live, but they have a fantastic exhaust guy. Another option you can use is a magnaflow y-pipe. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-10758/ Use that to convert to...

Didn't notice any difference in power in all the exhaust set ups I had, except when i ran straight pipes with no muffler. For the SOHC or OHV motors, a single 2.5" pipe will not be detrimental to performance. Dan

The super turbo is a reversible muffler, except for the crossflow models used on camaros. Look into part number 17758. Dan

Late reply I know, but when I had my sport, same year and engine as yours, the best sound I got out of it was with the Cherry Bomb Pro. Similar sound to the FM 40, but it sounded slightly better to me. I ran mine with 2.5" pipe. I also hollowed out the rear cat, but I don't think it made much...

I have a single 265/75/16 sitting in the garage. Only has about 500 miles on it. If your interested, let me know.

Not sure, but if you look under the dash by the brake pedal there should be a switch that is activated when you hit the brakes. If you splice into that you should be able to do what you want. I'm not 100% sure if it controls the lights though. I do know it controls the parking interlock so...

Cherry bomb vortex sounded the best to me. Check youtube for videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUsiIk_l-3U http://www.youtube.com/user/shortstack4504#p/a/u/2/EC3eWaH1IXo

I believe there are some self checks that do require maintained speeds and reaching operating temps for prolonged periods before they can be completed. I doubt you did any damage to the computer. I would just run it around town to warm it up for a little while then hit the highway for 10 miles...

Cherry bomb elite. Similar to the FM 70 series, but cheaper. Nice mellow tone, lets you know its there, but doesn't drive you nuts on the highway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0l-TyclYdE Dan

Read this article the other day, some of the stuff is known and has been mentioned. But I though the part about not creeping up to speed made more sense, basically let the gears do the work, and not let the engine lug. http://autos.yahoo.com/news/6-driving-tactics-to-save-gas-this-summer.html...

Missing the drain plug on the radiator? Otherwise, stick a garden hose in and see where its coming out. Dan

You can't reverse the muffler, well you can but the sound will be off, and the performance will likely be worse than stock.
