bump
 






Please give your thread several hours to a day before bumping, not 20 minutes.

Sorry I can't help with your clip.
 












sorry Robb, not complainin or anything, but in the past, I've found that my threads don't always like to be responded to for some reason. It won't happen again. :D

OMG!!! :eek: that sounds awesome. I few questions though. Are you running dual or single exhaust, and if youre running dual, did you go with the 2.5 in/2.25 dual out muffler?? and also is that the original series, or the delta flow. thanks for the clip and thanks in advance for your info.

Oh.... Are you running Cats???
 






Hehe, it's an original 40, 2.25 in and out. I also have headers and a test pipe (cat delete) though. The test pipe lowered the sound but didn't make it much louder. I also cut off at the outlet, so I have no tailpipe.
 






huskyFan....i have a borla system but i am curious...did the headders make it sound better or worse? and did you notice any power gains in low end as headders are supposed to provide?
 






so just the muffler and tailpipe won't sound anything like that then???
 






It'll be higher pitched. I didn't notice a sound difference (nor power) with the headers, but that was with the tail still attached. The headers are a rip IMO, but people get impressed when they find out I have headers on an Explorer. The downside is I'm sure my torque is real low considering I have barely any backpressure now.
 






damn that sounds good i want that on my explorer. how much did it cost.
 






Muffler was $60, though I bought the Force II set at first, which was $160, I kept the cat to muffler pipe, and sold the 50 series for a 40. The test pipe was made by a guy on eBay, cost me $100 shipped. If the headers have something to do with the sound, those were $200 (I got a real good deal on the board). It sounds much better in person, and is louder than the 5.9L R/T Durango.

Here's my clip, this is with a 40 series 2.25". The highest I revved to is 4k. This was recorded 15 feet away using my laptop, it doesn't have a very good mic. http://visualenkryption.com/xboxguy/exhaust.wav

MAN! That sounds wicked!! I knew i should have gotten the "40"...damn!
 






I'm confused. Is a test pipe like a cut-out??
 






huskyfan23's sounds exactly like mine does. Then again mine's also the same year, same engine, same flowmaster. I'll try to get a clip of mine up when I get the time :rolleyes:

BTW mine is 2.25" piping with a 2.5" tip. Here's a pic:

A test pipe is a pipe that replaces the cat.
 






ahh ok then, thank you for the info, and for the clip and snocross, I thank you also, when you get your clip up.
