Contemplating on swappin for a louder muffler

Look into the 50 series.... It should sound most excellent on your ride.

That looks like the muffler I have now. I like it alot.:thumbsup:

So it should be a fit then? Ok, well my question is like I said it shouldn't adversely affect my tuned performance should it?? I just wanna double check before I make any decisions you know?
 






:scratch: I think he looking for something else....No?

ROFLOL!! With all the talk of the 40 series, I lost sight of the original question. It was too early on a Monday... I really should finish my coffee before I start thinking!
 






I know you all are 5.0 guys, but I can speak from 4.0 experience

I am running an offroad Y pipe ( no cats ) 2.5" from the manifolds back. I can tell you now that the original 40 series flowmaster is going to be loud as hell. Lots of drone. Loud is nice- but didnt really want it all the time. Maybe if I had a GT500.

On the other hand, if you want the 40 series muffler, get the knock offs. Cherry Bomb Pro and the Thrush Fully Welded are all 40 series knock offs. www.performance-curve.com sells a knock off too. Ravin and V-flow mufflers are also knockoffs.

If you want the 40 series growl without the drone, you can also go 40 series Delta flow. Its still loud, deep, and mean but a little more tamed. Super 40's I believe are the delta flows with shorter V wings= deeper. Just do homework and maybe good "exhaust sound clips". Youtube has tones as well.
 






Well I decided to settle for the 2.5'' Dual In/Out Flowmaster Super40 series. I love it too, Yess it drones but like I said before my 50 series droned some as well so it was very easy to get used to. It doesn't bother me that much because I don't normally take my truck long distances often, and I also normally drive the speed limit since I try to drive gas conservative. I'll try to get some videos soon. I need to buy another tip so I can have it welded on since they took the other one off.
 






Maybe I over read it but do you have the resonator off? That will for surly help a lot and I have a flow master 40 series and love it. I still need to take the resonator off make it even louder.
 






I've had the resonator off ever since the 50 series, which is part of the reason I drone at high speeds. I'll try to record some video later.

My cat was sitting right by buy the speakers when I opened the video. You should have seen her snap her neck when she heard the birds chirping in the background.
 






very nice- gotta love flowmasters! Super 40 or Delta flow 40?
 






sounds nice and mean and afboy he has the super 40 series

LOL! My cat was sleeping on my lap and jumped up when she heard the chirps. Eyes all bugged out!
 












Don't get me wrong it is loud but I suppose think retaining all my catalytic Converters help a bit. And yes, it drones but it doesn't honestly drone to the point of a ear deafening level. At points here and there while climbing hills you can hear your ears ring sometimes but I said before I prefer that sound! :) Thanks for the comments too!!
